Going to be finishing up my 9 month stint on the southern border in a few months and will be moving up to Washington State.  For those of you who live in the area I have a few questions and any info would be great.  
I am 24 years old, single and would like to live in a pretty populated place with things to do and places to meet women 

.  
I have looked on a map and from Bellingham to Sumas its approx 26 miles but some people have told me its an hour or so drive.  Can anyone confirm this?
-Has anyone ever been to Lynden?  Is it nice?  Things to do? I have considered this area to live in but am not so sure.  
-Does anyone know of any nice apartment complexes in the Bellingham area?
I am hoping to get a head start on the whole process and since I will have to pick a place sight un seen any help would be great.  Thanks.
