Welcome to Lynden! “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” - Henry Ford At the Lynden Chamber of Commerce we bring people together. We bring together businesses to focus on the local business environment, opportunities to learn and teach and to get to know each other a little better. We bring together visitors and local destinations such as the Lynden Pioneer Museum, the Northwest Washington Fair, Berthusen Park and other local attractions and stores. We bring together local consumers and businesses, with programs such as the Cashback program and the Welkom Basket for new residents of the community. We bring together the entire community by organizing and producing community events such as the Farmers Day Parade in June, The Northwest Raspberry Festival in July, the Lynden Pumpkin Festival in October and the Lynden Lighted Christmas Parade in December. These very pages you have in your hand were produced by people coming together. The Lynden Tribune & Print Company along with the Lynden Chamber members you see within these pages are an example of what working together can accomplish. Another example of working together can be seen at Lynden City Park with the Million Smiles Playground. Over 2,000 volunteers came together to put in a combined 10,000-plus hours in 9 days to create 25,000 sq. ft. of playground. Lynden, like many communities around the globe, has had some challenging times. It has not been an easy road for many of our chamber members and community members. It is when we come together, stay together and work together that our community thrives and great things can not only be expected, but achieved. Take the time to visit the businesses listed within these pages, allowing them the opportunity to provide the goods and services you need. Together, 2013 will be a success for Lynden!

Accommodations
W
hether a room above downtown adjacent to a windmill or a small cabin tucked in the trees, Lynden has a variety of options for those seeking accommodations with places to stay for weary travelers, timeshare members, downtown gazers and campers. The Dutch Village Inn, located inside Lynden’s famous 72-foot-tall windmill, may have the most distinctive rooms in town (360-3544440), but they aren’t the only windmill in Lynden. A small windmill greets visitors to The Windmill Inn on the edge of town, located

conveniently on State Route 539 (360-354-3423, www.windmillinnlynden.com). For those with Vacation Internationale membership, the championship 18-hole Homestead Golf & Country Club offers a golf getaway in the heart of town. And visitors seeking a little more rugged (but with a swimming pool, pond, mini-golf and more it isn’t all that rugged) place to lay their head, either a campsite, RV site or “Kabin” at Lynden’s KOA is a perfect option (360-354-4772, www.koa.com).

resh ice cream at a working dairy. Raspberries off the vine. Pumpkins straight out of the patch. Apple cider fresh-pressed at an orchard. Christmas trees cut onsite. Intertwining agricultural life — and the fresh bounty it offers — with everyday living in Lynden is as common as the tree-lined streets of town. The agricultural industry is a mega-business in town, from the Darigold milk plant producing the second most powdered milk in the United States to Whatcom County producing more than 65 percent of the nation’s red raspberries, the largest per capita crop of red raspberries in the world. But there’s opportunity for locals and visitors to enjoy it all, too. Edaleen Dairy, north of Lynden, now has three dairy stores, offering its famed ice cream for easy consumption. Artisan cheese is found at Appel Farms, west of town, onsite of the 500cow dairy. View the fresh Gouda, among other varieties, being made before you sample them. Stoney Ridge Farms, east of Lynden, features pumpkins and Christmas trees and an experience to go with, complete with fresh treats made onsite, hay rides, a petting zoo and plenty more. Enjoy the u-pick lifestyle of raspberries, strawberries »

and blueberries at locally operated farms, such as Barbie’s Berries and Boxx Berry Farm, which also has a store featuring fresh berry sundaes and activities events. Whatcom County berries also make great seed for wine, a feature of Samson Estates Winery. For more uncommon treats, Holmquist Farms offers fresh hazelnuts and Bedlington Farm features fresh potatoes out of the fields of Lynden. BelleWood Acres, Whatcom County’s premier apple orchard, recently expanded, opening a brand-new facility that features cider-making, fresh pies, apple tasting, a full deli and scrumptious products, all made on-site and from orchard products. With all these offerings — and more — it’s easy to understand why combining agriculture and tourism is a growing trend around Lynden with cheese, wine, dairy products, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, hazelnuts and potatoes just a few of the local products and experiences that make the Lynden area special.

he doors to the brand-new Jansen Art Center swung wide open in 2012 and added an entirely new feel to the already active art scene in Lynden. Long gone are the cobwebs of two buildings built in the early 1900s, now joined together as an anchor for historic Front Street in downtown Lynden and an anchor for the entire Whatcom County art community. The Eleanor & Henry Jansen Foundation took over the former City Hall building, built in 1928, and purchased the adjoining Steinhauer Building, built in 1912, and has spent roughly $2 million to turn the three-story structures comprising roughly 20,000 square feet into a unified stateof-the-art center focused on art of all kinds. Studios within the buildings include pottery, weaving, dance, music and children’s themes. Lounges and banquet space aim to attract people from all walks of life. The upstairs 130-person Chamber Hall space features a new 8-foot, 4-inch Schimmel piano. While the renovation, upgrade and beautification alone of the structures certainly give life to the downtown Front Street site, plenty of art now livens up that part of town as well.

A budding new festival, the Lynden Music Festival, now has four years under its belt and offers a communitywide spectacle of music every fall. With venues throughout the town, including the “J,” local coffee shops, retail businesses, Judson Auditorium, churches and the Lynden Pioneer Museum, Lynden comes to life with the sounds of music through instrument and song. »
DIRECTORY
The Jansen Art Center is ultimately a one-stop place for art classes and rental of art studio space. Programs in music, painting, weaving, pottery, glass arts, children’s crafts, jewelry making, dance and much more (yoga, for example) will happen from the early morning to during the day for homeschool students and seniors, and after school and in the evening. Along with classes that may run weeks at a time or simply a few hours in a workshop setting, the “J” as its owners have now dubbed it, has also hosted an array of live musical events.
The main floor features two dance studios, a painting studio, a coffee shop, a gallery and gallery gift shop. A large outdoor deck is being constructed on the south side of this floor. The upper floor contains a large performing arts venue, Chamber Hall (complete with a kitchen to support rental events), music practice rooms, a weaving studio and a library/ workshop. The basement floor will feature a pottery studio, jewelry and glass studios, a children’s workshop area and other workshops. Lower floor workshops open to an outdoor patio and garden area. »

The Lynden Pioneer Museum adds its own mix of arts and entertainment, with an ever-changing display of life in the West. The museum has one of the world’s largest collections of antique buggies and features plenty of displays detailing pioneer life. The museum, just a few doors down from the Jansen Art Center also hosts a variety of themed events throughout the year. »
The Lynden Museum
Just down the street is the home of the active Claire vg Thomas Theatre community theater (www.nwtg.org), a lively group that hosts multiple performances throughout the year. Combine the local theater group with the active drama departments at both Lynden Public Schools and Lynden Christian School and there’s opportunity for theater throughout the year.

Clubs & Organizations T
he giving spirit of folks in Lynden can be seen from the bevy of churches located within town right through to the service clubs and organizations. The Mt. Baker Rotary group has been the most instrumental in helping shape the fortunes of those less fortunate in town, helping to build citywide facilities, including a Million Smiles Playground within the Lynden City Park, or athletic facilities at Lynden High School.
Along with the Rotary Club, two Kiwanis clubs and a Lions club also help keep up everything from local parades to student activities. Add in Toastmasters and other communitywide organizations to an active church membership that runs programs for the needy and there’s plenty of opportunities to serve, get involved and meet new people through Lynden’s active service clubs and organizations.

Recreation
Mount Baker is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Range volcanoes and is the third-highest mountain in Washington State.
T
ake a stroll through Lynden’s tree-lined trail system or experience the history of a pioneer homestead at Berthusen Park. Or, if you’d rather, take a short jaunt up Mount Baker for snow sports or head just a few minutes the opposite direction and enjoy water sports on Whatcom County’s bevy of lakes, rivers and Pacific Ocean bays. Within Lynden, the town offers the county’s premier kids’ playground, the community funded and built Million Smiles Playground. Located within Lynden City Park and adjacent to Fishtrap Creek, an ideal wading zone in warmer weather, the playground offers imaginative fun for toddlers through elementary school-aged children and the tallest outdoor slide in the region. Connected by the Jim Kaemingk Sr. trail to other parts of the town, simply hop on the paved path to wander along the creek, visiting Bender Fields — the home to Lynden’s organized youth and community sports, everything from kids’ soccer to city softball leagues — and the residential communities beyond. Berthusen Park, just minutes outside of town, offers playgrounds, fields, walking trails through the forest, a shotgun club, a remotecontrol aircraft club and a fully restored pioneer

barn on what was the Hans Berthusen 1863 homestead. The 240-acre site is also the home to the region’s largest tractor show, which leaves antique steam engines and other attractions on site year-round. Beyond Lynden, enjoy a variety of recreational opportunities between Lynden and Mount Baker, from mountain biking to tubing to alpine hiking to downhill skiing. A trip west toward the saltwater shoreline presents another set of recreational choices, including kayaking, ocean fishing, clamming, hiking, birding and simply walking along the beach. With lakes peppering the county, from Bellingham to Lynden to the Mount Baker area, fishing, boating, paddleboarding and more become common summer events. Even a tubing trip down the Nooksack River isn’t far away. These recreational opportunities only scratch the surface of what Lynden has to offer, whether within its own town (some of the state’s best golf courses are found in and around Lynden) or by using Lynden as a launching point (such as to the San Juan Islands to the west or Canada just minutes to the north). Outdoor recreation is certainly alive in and around Lynden.

Welcome New Residents! A
wonderful program offered by the Lynden Chamber of Commerce is the Welkom Basket. This program was put in place to welcome new residents to town and is a great tool for them to get to know their new home. Each basket is filled with coupons and gifts from local businesses and is personally delivered to the residents by our wonderful Lynden Ambassadors, Ada Voskuilen and Virgi Diephuis. Ada and Virgi share about Lynden, and also take that time to get to know each new family, giving us the ability to discover why they moved here, and what they are looking for. This program has proven to be an invaluable tool in helping us make the families feel welcome, and it is also the chance for the new residents to get to know Lynden and be reminded why this is such a great place to live. It also gives our members a chance to get information about their business out to the community in a fun and inviting way.
To request a Welkom Basket or to be a part of this great program contact the Lynden Chamber of Commerce at 360.354.5995

here’s an opportunity to get lost within the differing shopping worlds of Lynden. Don’t expect mass-produced merchandise to jump out at you. Instead enjoy the hunt of shopping, searching through handmade items, antique shops and specialty stores to find what you need—and things you never even knew you needed. Within the historic downtown district, search through the variety of antique stores, turning old barn windows into decorative wall hangings and antique farm parts into trendy garden décor. There’s plenty to see in the antique shops alone, but that isn’t all Lynden has to offer. From high-art at the Jansen Art Center to lost reads at Katz Coffee & Used Books and from furniture to flowers to sporting goods, downtown has a variety of options. For those looking to add that perfect decoration or home accent, Grandiflora offers one of the trendiest shops north of Seattle, with a constantly changing array of items for the home and garden. And if the outdoors is your thing, you can get all the advice and inside scoops on the best fishing and hunting—not to mention all the gear you need for it—at Dave’s Sports Shop in Lynden’s Fairway Center, also home to a top-flight children’s store, cute décor shop, hardware store, small-town drug store and plenty more. A place like Dave’s Sports Shop is grand central for all fishing, hunting and camping gear, clothing, and licenses, and whatever else is needed to be safe and successful out in the wild. The personal touch of longtime employees and owners knowing their gear and their terrain are an example of Lynden’s serviceoriented shopping touch. And, like Grandiflora in the home design world, the owners of Dave’s also visit national trade shows to stay current on the latest trends. Shopping in Lynden is an activity that offers the chance to explore, learn, and of course, find.
