Officials in Bellingham , Washington , are concerned about a buy- Canadian movement after U.S. President Donald Trump ’s tariff tirade.

Those from B.C. who continue to head to the Whatcom County city to shop were sheepish or defiant when approached by Postmedia on Family Day .

And, speaking of the exchange rate, it’s extremely appealing for people in Bellingham , Lynden , Ferndale and Blaine to pop up north for a bite or some entertainment, Occhiogrosso said. “With the exchange rate right now, it’s so affordable, in January my wife and a couple of friends, we went up to eat in Abbotsford , it’s super quick and cheaper than eating a comparable meal in Whatcom County .”.
