The Bellingham Aquarium is bluer than any of my previous aquariums. Unlike my Seattle aquarium, the Bellingham is only twnety gallons right now and simply an off-the-shelf box style. I got some goldfish in it, for now. I'm thinking through what I will do this time, while I am in Bellingham.

Bellingham sits on Bellingham Bay, which is a bay of the northern Puget Sound. It is salt water, with serious brackish water inlet areas. My Bellingham aquarium right now is just a fresh water goldfish tank.

The Bellingham Aquarium is unlike any other aquarium I have made. It is blue, with goldfish. I'm dreaming of a salt water aquarium with octopus and starfish and sea anemone and kelp. But for now, I have goldfish. My next addition is going to be a little bubbling deep sea diver figurine with a treasure chest that opens and closs with the bubbles.
When I first went to Western I wondered why Bellingham had so much dilapidated industry along the waterfront. I assumed it must be polluted for no one to care about how it looks. I missed going to a good local aquarium, so I decided tomake my own, which I call the Bellingham Aquarium. You can see pictures above. I might even get a web cam.
I think Bellingham has a touch-tank kids science center along the waterfront, too. Someday maybe Bellingham will build an aquarium.
