Local housing stock
Of roughly 43,792 housing units, about 23,614 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1986. Just over half the housing predates 1990, spread across slopes that fall toward the bay. Glacial soils here often place permeable material over dense till, so water passes down through the upper layer, meets the till, and moves sideways to emerge partway down a hillside.
Climate & seasonal risk
November alone accounts for 15.3 percent of the 38.2 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 2.9 miles away at BELLINGHAM 2.4 SW. November rain is persistent rather than intense, so the ground stays saturated from then until spring. The creeks running down to the bay respond quickly in that saturated state, and their ravines have very little room to spread within a built-up area.
Common water damage problems in Bellingham
- Water perching on dense till and emerging at cut faces partway down a slope
- Creek ravines through developed ground with almost no room to spread
- Sustained winter saturation, so nothing recovers between systems
- Bluffs above the bay that move under prolonged wetting rather than in single storms
