Everything else below is information about Mount Baker Neighborhood in Bellingham WA.

The Mount Baker neighborhood is one of the fastest growing residential areas of Bellingham, offering sweeping views of the city and Bellingham Bay from atop Barkley Boulevard on the north side of town.

This large neighborhood covers many commercial developments, including Sunset Square, Barkley Village, and the industrial areas along Hannegan Road, East Bakerview Road and Irongate Road. The area boasts two large grocery stores, several restaurants, a movie theatre, gas stations, banks and a department store, creating the feel of a second downtown.

The residential areas continue to expand. Apartment complexes surround Sunset Square, line the newly widened Sunset Drive and dot the area along Barkley Boulevard leading to Barkley Village from Sunset Drive. The James Street Estates, a mobile home park, is located behind Sunset Square next to Sunset Pond, and is known for its annual Christmas lights show.

Housing developments also hug the western side of the neighborhood at Barkley Hill. The large homes generally have well-manicured lawns and street traffic is light. At the far northeastern corner are Bellingham's two newest schools: Squalicum High School and Northern Heights Elementary School.

One large park sits atop of Barkley Hill, North Ridge Park, but there are trails leading from there to Whatcom Falls Park and Lake Whatcom.
