Skywatch Friday: Old City Hall and Blue Sky

Ah, the blue skies and (mostly) leafy trees of a month ago. I miss them already!

You'll be happy to know I got my days straight today. It's Thursday, right?

Old City Hall

Lizziviggi took the girls to the children's museum at the Lightcatcher building and snapped this shot of the old City Hall building. Once the municipal center of the city, it was replaced by a larger, more modern building closer to downtown. The Whatcom Museum moved into the building in 1941 and has occupied it since. The museum is now housed in three buildings: The old City Hall, the Syre Education Center seen just to the right of the City Hall building, and the new Lightcatcher building in the foreground.

Whatcom Museum

The Whatcom Museum has four buildings-- this is the 1892 Old City Hall. It has seen good times and bad, but is standing strong and remains Bellingham's most iconic building. For more information, check out the Whatcom Museum website.
