Lynden - A Little Bit of Holland

If you want a taste of Holland, but do not want to leave the USA, Lynden is the place to visit. Many businesses in  Lynden sport a Dutch motif, with Dutch style architecture, and sell authentic Dutch goods. In Lynden you can dine in restaurants that serve delicious, authentic Dutch food, buy fresh baked goods in a Dutch bakery, and even stay overnight in a four story windmill (pictured on the right).

Located in the beautiful Nooksack River Valley in the northwestern corner of Washington State, Lynden is approximately 100 miles north of Seattle and 50 miles south of Vancouver BC. Birch Bay and Bellingham Bay, both at sea level, are less than a half hour away to the west and magnificent 9000 foot Mount Baker and the Cascade Mountain Range are a half hour to the east. The US - Canadian border is just five miles north of the city.

Lynden is surrounded by farms and many local businesses are directly related to agriculture. 

Lynden has a population of about 10,000 people.
