History Surrounds the Horseshoe.

The oldest continuously operating cafe & cocktail lounge in Washington, the Horseshoe Cafe has been a part of the Bellingham community since 1886. Learn more about the history of Bellingham and how the 'shoe came to be in the timeline below.

1850-1859

Settlers were drawn to Bellingham by new jobs in logging, coal-mining, and the fishing industries. A few towns were established: Whatcom in 1852, Fairhaven & Bellingham in 1853, and Sehome in 1854.

1858

The Fraser Canyon Gold Rush brought thousands of miners, storekeepers, and scalawags north from California. Whatcom county was a basecamp for miners entering the Fraser Canyon goldfields.

1918

Bellingham was transformed by the Great Depression, as citizens of Whatcom County developed new family relationships and social roles to cope with economic hardships.

Times have changed, but the layout remains. The wallpaper seen in the photo can still be found above the ceiling in the current building.

This picture was an inspiration for the 2015 remodel. The open kitchen and drop down hood really makes the kitchen feel a part of the diner.
