This place is a good starting point for your visit to Bellingham. The park is at the main harbor, and there is plenty of parking & also stores & restaurants to look at. But the main reason to visit the park is to get a nice view of Bellingham, the adjacent mountains & the Puget Sound & San Juan Islands.
Make sure you bring a coat because it's often freezing cold from a stiff breeze that blows in. There's not much else to see except for the boats & a memorial to fishermen that have been lost. This place was a huge fishing town, & fishing is still a major industry here.
Here's a website for the "Safe Return" fisherman's memorial:
