It's a multi-day ferry trip... incredibly long and expensive. There is no direct ferry from Bellingham to Whittier, you'd have to transfer several times.
If you drive to Whittier it's 45 hours in a straight shot, so I'd probably break it up into 4-5 days to a week and sight-see in BC and Yukon along the way.
@OP, have you played around with the sailing search on the Alaska ferry system? It's quite expensive to sail from Bellingham. Might as well drive up, IMO. I have done some preliminary research as I've wanted to do the trip myself, and as long as you plan smart and plan ahead it should be doable without too much risk.
