White City (Bellingham)

White City was an amusement park located at Lake Whatcom's Silver Beach in Bellingham, Washington.

White City opened in 1906 and closed in 1919. The park was the last stop on the Lake Line streetcar and a favorite destination in the early years following Bellingham's consolidation. White City had a wooden roller coaster, plus a hotel, dance hall and an ice cream parlor. White City was named because of its "white" electric lights.
