You can get from Seattle to Bellingham, Wash., by driving 90 miles straight up the interstate, but you shouldn’t. The best route to this small city tucked where the mighty Cascade mountain range meets the sea can be more scenic and pleasurable. Veer off Interstate 5 about 15 miles south of Bellingham to make the final approach via Chuckanut Drive, one of the state’s more than 20 official Scenic Byways. The interstate highway exit for Chuckanut, first drops you into the town of Bow. Two and a half miles down rural Bow Hill Road West, the Bread Farm in Edison offers sweets and fresh bread at the walk-up bakery window.
