White City was an amusement park located at Lake Whatcom's Silver Beach in Bellingham.[1] 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."
