Dining, Shopping & Entertainment 

The extraordinary architecture that characterizes many of the homes in Edgemoor is crystallized in the Lairmont Manor. Constructed over a century ago, the historic Italian renaissance mansion, which doubles as an estate venue, is the ideal sanctuary for residents to host special functions or tie the knot.

For other special occasions, those fortunate enough to call Edgemoor home have an assortment of world-class restaurants from which to choose but often head directly to the Lighthouse Bar and Grill in the Bellwether Hotel, an opulent venue with breathtaking views of the waterfront. Here, you can start off with fresh oysters, sample roasted kohlrabi with blood orange and grapes, and dive into a bowl of Pacific paella with Dungeness crab and black mussels. Stay for a slice of chocolate mousse torte with caramel rum and a glass of Kioni Vineyards ice wine. The wine list at this venue is spectacular. Fine dining at its best is also savored at Keenan’s at the Pier. Tucked inside The Chrysalis Inn & Spa and featuring staggering views of Bellingham Bay, its menu teems with delectable eats such as duck rillettes with cherry-sage preserves, Fall Line Fisheries’ wild sockeye with raspberry miso, and port wine poached pear with mascarpone cream and spiced nuts.

Edgemoor residents are also blessed with a wide variety of fitness options within reach. Take the Bayside Swimming Club, for instance, an immaculate swimming center that offers lap swimming, pool rentals, lessons, and more.
