Where to find a Christmas tree in Whatcom County
For many people, shopping for Christmas trees in Whatcom County begins around Thanksgiving. To help, here is The Bellingham Herald’s annual list of U-cut and we-cut tree farms.
Permits are available through Dec. 24 to cut Christmas trees in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Cutting areas are within national forest lands in eastern Skagit and Whatcom counties, among other places.
Maps and information about cutting areas are provided at ranger stations and public service centers where permits are sold. Cash, credit cards and checks are accepted at Forest Service stations. The Glacier station accepts only cash and checks. Forest Service offices are closed Thanksgiving Day, and might close early Christmas Eve; call ahead for hours.
