White City was an amusement park located at Lake Whatcom's Silver Beach in Bellingham. It opened in 1906 and closed in 1919. The park was the last stop on the Lake Line streetcar and a favorite destination in the early years following Bellingham's consolidation. Built along Lake Whatcom's north shore, the amusement park sported an impressive wooden roller coaster, plus a hotel, dance hall and an ice cream parlor. White City was named because it was "lit-up". It was white due to there being electric lights which were a major attraction giving the name "White City."
