Make things easy for yourself by going for something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Take into consideration that Bellingham is a popular base for exploring some of the rocky coastlines around Whatcom County. If your getaway is more about cruising down highways, then you may like something with a bit more comfort and extra legroom. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
