Lynden is a city of about 16,000 people in northwest Washington State. The town lies in a broad valley along the winding path of the Nooksack River, which empties into nearby Bellingham Bay. The surrounding area is filled with dairy, raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry farms. Lynden pays homage its Dutch heritage through locations such as Front Street, where some businesses have been made-over with a Dutch theme, complete with a windmill.
