Design
The flag was designed by Brad Lockhart after listening to a TED talk spoken by Roman Mars. The blue half-circle represents the Bay to the west, the stars representing indigenous tribes such as the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Indian Tribe. The three wavy lines represent noisy waters and rivers, and the stripes symbolize the four cities that merged to become the city of Bellingham. [1][2][3][4]
