About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Bellingham from the PORT TOWNSEND station: high tides about the same height, 43 min later; low tides about 0.94× the height, 71 min later.
Puget Sound and the Columbia estuary amplify mixed tides far inland — ranges past 10 ft in the South Sound — with river flow stacked on top.
