Axton Road Bed and Breakfast lies on twenty acres with panoramic views of both the Canadian Rockies to the north and the American Cascades to the east. It is situated on rolling agricultural land in an area called Laurel Hill, several miles north of Bellingham, the "city of subdued excitement." The city is actually an interesting amalgam historically of four settlements along the east side of Puget Sound, lying 90 miles north of Seattle and 55 miles southeast of Vancouver, BC.

Within view of our home is Mount Baker, famous both for its annual Banked Slalom snowboarding competition and also in 1999 a world record snowfall cumulatively of over 110 feet. Several hours north of Vancouver is Whistler, feverishly preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Bellingham has a growing population of some 75,000, including about 10,000 students, staff and faculty at Western Washington University. The southern terminus of the Inland Passageway ferry to Alaska is located in the part of town called Fairhaven, adjacent to the University. Other ferries reach the archipelago of the San Juan Islands. Resident lakes within Whatcom County include Whatcom, Samish and Padden.
