BBVCC is located in the Birch Bay Urban Growth Area (UGA), which covers approximately 5.63 square miles, and is the fastest growing growth area in Whatcom County. Adjacent to the UGA on the shores of Drayton Harbor, the City of Blaine is home to 6,200 residents. Blaine’s economy is primarily driven by cross-border trade, manufacturing, and recreation and tourism centered on its historic downtown and the harbor area, which boasts a rich maritime history.

For sports and outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers year-round outdoor recreational opportunities including numerous hiking and biking trails, camping, skiing, sailing, bird and whale watching, lake and river sport fishing, golfing and more.

BBVCC is a private, gated residential community located on the northern shores of Birch Bay. This large-scale homeowner’s association (HOA) encompasses 1,129 lots and a population of approximately 2,000 residents. Governed by a seven-member Board of Directors, the HOA features a wide array of amenities, including a 9-hole executive golf course (with two pin placements allowing for 18-hole play), a 250-slip marina with direct access to Birch Bay and the Salish Sea, a swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, multiple parks, walking trails, and private beaches, as well as a central clubhouse.
