Double Decker

Fairhaven Fish and Chips currently occupies this iconic double decker bus in the historic Fairhaven District of Bellingham. Incorporated in the late 1800's, Fairhaven joined with Whatcom, Bellingham and Sehome near the turn of the century to form modern Bellingham. A quaint collection of Victorian homes and brick building, Fairhaven has become one of Bellingham's main tourist destinations.

  3. Really? Next time I see it I'll have to see if i can find out who made the bus. It's been there as long as I can remember.

  4. How cool is that! What a fun place to stop for a bite. Although I'm not a big fish fan. But I would sit for a spell while hubby had some fish. :)

  6. No, I never have eaten at this particular place. It's been a couple of different restaurants in the past and I think I did eat at one of it's previous incarnations.
