Home Sweet Sehome

Just to remind ourselves as our pleasant spell of non-stop sunshine transmogrifies into the more typical later Fall clouds and rain, we do live in a lovely part of the world...

We're Village People, or Birch Bay Village people to be more precise. The Village, located on the North Side of Birch Bay Washington, was originally developed by Canadians in the late 1960s. It contains 1132 lots, of which more than 950 have been built upon. Here's a view of the Village from a nearby hilltop.



And now to slip past security into the Village itself...



The name of the road we live on, Sehome, is a Bellingham-area name supposedly derived from the the Nooksack S-yah-whom, apparently the name of an early Indian in the area. Its local pronunciation is "Sea-Home" - too bad we just can't spell it that way.

We never get bored with the view of Mount Baker, here looking across this side of Birch Bay from Sand Dollar Park, a couple of blocks from us...



We plan to return to peek at these as late-Fall and Winter weather inevitably arrives.
