Every Friday the Alaska Ferry arrives in Bellingham to drop off passengers, cars, and other vehichles destined for the Mainland U.S.A. and then loads up Passengers eager for their trip to Alaska. Many Bellingham residents (Bellinghamsters) actually work in Alaska for a few weeks and then return to their homes and families in Bellingham.
It may sound like a strain on families and friends but people who do it seem to love it and it works for them. Afterall, jobs in Alaska often pay good money and you get to have plenty of time off to enjoy yourself, home, and family back in Bellingham.
