Lynden, Agricultural city in Whatcom County, United States
Located 15 miles north of Bellingham, Lynden extends across 5.18 square miles of land at an elevation of 33 meters above sea level.
Phoebe Judson and her husband founded Lynden in 1870 on the indigenous Nooksack territories, leading to its incorporation as a city in 1891.
Dutch immigrants established numerous Calvinist churches and language schools during the 20th century, shaping the community's traditions and architecture.
The Whatcom Transportation Authority provides bus services throughout Lynden, while the municipal airport accommodates private aviation needs.
In 2005, authorities discovered the first and only known drug smuggling tunnel along the Canada-United States border just north of Lynden.
