Harris Avenue

A bit of info for those who have not been to Fairhaven.  Fairhaven has two main streets - Harris Ave and 11th Street.  These two streets have 8 of our 10 historic buildings - dating from 1888 to 1904.  Today is sunny and warm with folks out window shopping and enjoying the quiet ambience.  Fairhaven is for walking.  To enjoy everything takes walking.  As you can see, Harris Avenue is a hillside and good walking shoes are benefit here.  There is always plenty of parking around the edges of the historic district - while the core streets are often full of parked cars.  Whether you come from Seattle or Vancouver for a day or weekend, plan to park on the edges of the district and enjoy walking.  Everything is within 3 blocks and all parking is free with no time limits.  We invite you to visit Fairhaven. 

Oh, and that building with Artwood in the photo is the Morgan Block, built in 1890.  Good Earth Pottery is also in the building.

The Silvery Moon has just returned from the World's Largest Gem Show with a huge selection of mohi colored sapphires and new designs. Show your Valentine your love.
