# The Bellingham Soccer Scene
Bellingham is the Pacific Northwest's northernmost soccer city — a vibrant university town on Bellingham Bay where the game thrives in the shadow of the North Cascades and just 20 miles from the Canadian border. Western Washington University's strong soccer program and a passionate outdoor-loving community have made Bellingham one of the most underrated soccer cities in the Pacific Northwest.
Bellingham FC's NISA history has given the city a semi-professional soccer identity, and the city's youth clubs benefit from proximity to Seattle Sounders development programs. The Pacific Northwest's mild climate and quality turf facilities allow year-round soccer, and the city's progressive, outdoor-loving culture embraces the game at every level.
