The Pell numbers \(P_n\) are defined by \(P_{n+1}= 2P_n+ P_{n-1}\) for \(n\geq 1\) and \(P_0= 0\), \(P_1= 1\), and it is shown that for all positive integers \(n\) the sum \(S_{4n+1}\) of the first \(4n+1\) Pell numbers is a perfect square. Then some identities are given involving Pell numbers and binomial coefficients, and finally two divisibility properties of certain sums of Pell numbers are obtained.
