The market for Lynden commercial real estate has remained steady. This popular town bounces back and forth with Ferndale as the second-largest city in Whatcom County behind Bellingham. Since 2010, Lynden’s population has grown by 35.71% and is projected to grow at a steady rate of 3.17% annually.

Lynden is located just four miles south of the Canadian border and 15 miles north of Bellingham. It is also within 30 minutes of four different border crossings which make for an easy day trip to the central hubs of Vancouver B.C. and Seattle. 

The City of Lynden has established most of its current and future heavy industrial, light industrial, and commercial services districts east and west of Guide Meridian Road just south of Kok Road extending slightly to the north of Main Street. The primary arterial from I-5 traveling west is Birch Bay – Lynden Road. This area hosts mostly newer commercial buildings with automotive dealerships, equipment dealerships, banks, gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores. Continuing into the town you’ll find the heart of Lynden’s retail district; a long section of Grover Street that connects to Hannagan Road, the other main highway of Whatcom County. Dozens of locally owned businesses decorate the street sides including a theater, clothing stores, furniture stores, bookstores, hotels, museums, and breweries.

Further to the west is Berthusen Road where many of the heavy and light industrial zoned districts lie. On the Southeast side of Lynden, you’ll find acres of generational farmland.
