Postcard from the USA!

Today I got a nice postcard from the USA! The postcard shows a view in Bellingham, Washington. The card shows the Whatcom Museum, which once was the city hall. With 80,000 residents, the city is the largest in the county of Whatcom. It is strategically located near the cities of Vancouver and Seattle. It is a common jump-off point for many Canadians, who take advantage of cheaper prices. It is also located near the San Juan Islands. The card is an official Postcrossing card, US-3052832. Thanks Claudia!

It was first opened in 1999 and is named after Safeco Insurance, a Seattle-based company. Thanks Benita!
