About Custer

Custer is a quiet, rural community in Whatcom County, tucked comfortably between Ferndale and the Canadian border. Founded in the late 1800s by a local storekeeper and postmaster, it offers a peaceful slice of Pacific Northwest country living. Families here are served by the Ferndale School District, and residents enjoy wide open spaces alongside quick drives to Birch Bay and Bellingham. It makes a great home base for anyone looking for a relaxed small-town feel with easy access to both the coast and everyday conveniences.
