Shopping district 3 miles north of downtown Bellingham
Bellingham locals from all over town come to Meridian to shop at Bellis Fair Mall and all the surrounding department stores, chains and restaurants on the neighborhood’s namesake street. About 3 miles north of downtown Bellingham, which features more locally owned establishments, Meridian has the highest concentration of national retailers surrounded by sprawling parking lots. The high level of foot traffic and proximity to Interstate 5 has also attracted business parks, small industrial operations and institutions like Singh Sabha Gurdwara, a Sikh place of worship. Housing in Meridian mainly consists of apartments, though single-family homes can be found around the neighborhood’s southern and eastern edges. “You go out to Meridian to go to Home Depot or the mall, things like that,” says Julian Friedman, owner and real estate agent with Julian & Company of the Muljat Group. “It’s not as walkable as other Bellingham neighborhoods.”
Meridian shoppers head to the Bellis Fair Mall for Target and much more.

A mix of apartments, ranch-style homes and bungalows
Though most residences in Meridian are apartments, single-family homes are found along the neighborhood’s southern and eastern borders, separated from major roadways by shopping centers. Homes range in age and style, including ranch-style and split-level properties from the 1960s and ‘70s and New Traditional-style bungalows from the 2000s with steeply gabled roofs and prominent two-car garages. Homes typically have between two and four bedrooms, with prices ranging from $400,000 to $750,000. A few mid-rise condo complexes, usually within walking distance of shopping centers, offer two- and three-bedroom units for between $300,000 and $450,000. Bakerview Estates, a mobile home park on the Meridian's west side, has manufactured homes with two to four bedrooms that usually sell for $80,000 to $120,000.

Visiting circus performances in the summer
Bellis Fair Mall occasionally hosts community events like Father’s Day Celebrations and Easter Egg Hunts. In the summer, the circus comes to town and sets up a dazzling show in the mall parking lot. In 2023 and 2024, this spot was taken by Paranormal Cirque, an adult-oriented horror performance combining classic circus acts with the spirit of a haunted house.

Interstate 5 borders Meridian on the south, extending 91 miles south to Seattle and 34 miles north to the Canadian border. “Bellingham doesn’t have terrible traffic, but Meridian is one of the more congested areas,” Friedman says. “I would typically avoid it during rush hour.” Several Whatcom Transportation Authority bus routes stop in Meridian, providing an alternative to driving along with a few bike lanes on West Bakerview Road. PeaceHealth Saint Joseph Medical Center is about 2 miles south, and Bellingham International Airport is about 3 miles west.
