Distinctive commercial and residential properties in the heart of Bellingham and Lynden, where local businesses thrive in buildings with real character.
Canoe Street Properties is a Hall family-owned property management company based in Bellingham, Washington. Our portfolio spans four distinctive properties across Bellingham and Lynden, from the 1900 Red Front Building to the iconic Dutch Village Mall windmill.
Our name is carved in stone, literally. Above the front column of our Red Front Building, the words “Canoe St.” mark the original name of what is now Commercial Street, and the source of our company’s name.
We believe great buildings deserve great stewardship. Our tenants are local businesses, working professionals, and creative entrepreneurs who value character, location, and a property manager who actually picks up the phone.

1303 Commercial St, Bellingham
Built in 1900 by Samuel Altshuler to house his Red Front Clothing Store. The upper floors operated as the Savoy Hotel from 1915 until the 1960s. Engraved in stone above the front column are the words "Canoe St.", the original name of Commercial Street and the namesake of our company.
217 W Holly St, Bellingham
Built in 1928 as the McHugh Apartments by Thomas C. McHugh, the same Bellingham retailer behind the famed Montague & McHugh department store. The L-shaped building wraps the corner of Holly and Bay, with ground-floor commercial spaces and upper-floor apartments.
655 Front St, Lynden
Built in 1987 from a former car dealership as the centerpiece of Lynden's Dutch heritage tourism plan. The city had begun promoting its Dutch roots in the 1980s. Lynden was founded in 1870 by Phoebe Judson and saw waves of Dutch immigration in the early 1900s, and Dutch Village Mall, crowned by a 72-foot working windmill and originally featuring a 150-foot canal, became the icon of that effort. The building also houses Lynden Performing Arts Guild's 160-seat Claire Theatre.
8874 Bender Rd, Lynden
A modern mixed-use plaza in fast-growing east Lynden, anchoring a residential corridor near Bender Fields. Home to a busy lineup of local restaurants, retail, and professional services, plus the regional HQ for Alaskan Leader Fisheries.
