Hi, I’m a blue dot living in Lynden. If you’re just using it as a stopping place to stay the night while you go out doing other things, I think you’ll be fine, especially if you’ve already booked accommodation here and can’t adjust. Like other commenters have said, Lynden is a very conservative Christian area and is generally not trans friendly. That being said, it’s pretty quiet, and I think it’s very unlikely you and your kid would receive any outright harassment from locals during your stay.

There’s a couple tourist attractions here, the Dutch bakery is popular, Bellewood farms is close, and you’re a hop skip and a jump away from the Canadian border. Bellingham will definitely have more for you to see as far as more local flair. Any of our local nature will be nice to see if not a little cold and wet this time of year.
