About Acme
A farming community in the South Fork Nooksack valley, Acme sits where the farmland meets the Mount Baker foothills — dairy farms, the river's salmon runs, and forested hills in every direction. It's a working rural town with genuine small-town bones: the historic Acme General Store area, community events, and Baker's slopes 45 minutes up the highway.
