Madrona

Madrona is a new residential community bringing 111 thoughtfully designed homes to one of Bellingham’s most connected locations—near Bellingham Bay, the South Bay Trail, downtown amenities, and the city’s evolving waterfront.

Originally known during planning as State Street Creamery—named for the historic dairy that once occupied the site—Madrona represents a new chapter for a prominent Bellingham property. The development has evolved into a modern residential community designed around convenience, low-maintenance living, and everyday access to some of the city’s most recognizable destinations.

Connected Living Near Bellingham Bay

Located along State Street, Madrona places residents within easy reach of local dining, shopping, parks, trails, employment centers, and waterfront destinations. The location offers the advantages of central Bellingham living while maintaining a neighborhood feel just outside the busiest parts of downtown.

Many homes will feature views of Bellingham Bay, the city, or surrounding neighborhoods, reinforcing Madrona’s appeal as a well-located residential option with long-term value.

Modern Residences Designed for Everyday Life

Madrona will include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes with efficient layouts, contemporary finishes, secure building access, structured parking, and bicycle storage.

The community is designed to support a range of residents, from first-time buyers and professionals to downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home close to recreation, services, and everyday amenities.

A New Chapter for a Historic Site

The Madrona site has long been part of Bellingham’s urban fabric. The former State Street Creamery building gives the project its planning-phase name and reflects the property’s history as part of a changing corridor near Bellingham Bay and the city center.

Madrona continues that evolution by bringing new housing to a central location where residential demand remains strong.
