"The Living" is American author Annie Dillard's first novel, a historical fiction account of European settlers and a group of Lummi natives in late 1800s Washington published in 1992. [http://www.bookpage.com/BPinterviews/dillard492.html BookPage Interview ] ] The main action of the book takes place in the Puget Sound settlements of Whatcom, Old Bellingham, Sehome, and Fairhaven, which would later merge to form the city of Bellingham, Washington.

As research for the novel, Dillard lived for five years in the Bellingham area, much of that time in 19th century era accommodations.
