    "Bellingham Monday: Weather Alerts, Road Disruptions, and Community Events"
    2025/11/10
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, November 10, 2025. It is a crisp start to the week here in the city of subdued excitement, and we have a full slate of local news and activities to help guide your day.

    First up, be aware of some ongoing disruptions on the roads. All northbound lanes were blocked in Bellingham earlier after a semi-truck struck the concrete barriers, so if you plan to travel through that corridor, aim for alternate routes and give yourself extra time. Looking further afield, if you’re heading out on the Mount Baker Highway starting tomorrow, be prepared for some rolling slowdowns between Cornell Creek Road and Swamp Creek as film crews take over the area for event filming from 7 am to 4 pm through Thursday. Uniformed officers will be on site, and minor delays are expected in both directions, so plan accordingly.

    Bellingham is feeling the fall weather in full force. While a winter weather advisory is in effect through Friday for Mount Baker and higher elevations—the mountain could see another one to two feet of snow—here in town we’ll be dealing with gusty winds later this week. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for Thursday, so keep an eye out for downed tree limbs and the possibility of brief power outages. Also, all this wind and rain mean a flood watch is in place, especially in areas where leaves are clogging storm drains, so take care in neighborhoods with slow drainage.

    On the activities front, there is no shortage of ways to connect and create today. At Bloedel Donovan’s community building, sports enthusiasts can join in on GangBall from 4 to 6 pm, while over at The Majestic Ballroom on North Forest, the Bellingham Embodiment Collective hosts a Monday Night Dance starting at 6:30. Trivia fans can head to Zeeks Pizza on Meridian for their weekly trivia night from six to eight. If you are keen to blend learning and community, the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club is holding its first general meeting of the ski season at Backcountry Essentials on North State Street from 7 to 8:30 this evening—all are welcome.

    Art lovers might want to stop by the Meloy Gallery for Joe Reno’s “Floral to Comos” exhibition, and if you are looking for literary inspiration, Village Books is hosting Maya Jewell Zeller at 6 pm, leading a lively discussion on the wonder of mushrooms. For music and mingling, El Sueñito Brewing on Humboldt Street brings Ritual Records Night from 7 to 9, and The Shakedown on North State Street offers an evening show starting at 8.

    Sports fans get an early start as Western Washington University’s hockey team faces Cal at 10 am at the Bellingham Sportsplex. It is a great matchup to spice up your Monday.

    On the local news beat, election results are still being tallied and will be certified later this month, while officials remind residents to not be alarmed by any visible controlled burns in eastern Whatcom County—they are approved and managed.

    That is a wrap on today’s happenings. Remember, fall weather means slick roads and puddles, so be extra careful out there and give your neighbors a little patience and kindness. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Sunday in Bellingham: Jazz Brunch, Art Crawls, and Outdoor Adventures
    2025/11/09
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, November 9, 2025. It’s a crisp fall morning in the Pacific Northwest, so let’s jump right in to what’s happening around our beautiful city today and throughout this week.

    If you’re headed out, start your Sunday right at the Hotel Leo for their jazz brunch, which runs until 2 this afternoon—an ideal spot to fuel up with great food and live tunes. Right downtown, you can catch the last day of Bellingham Illuminations, where Whatcom Art Center’s halls are glowing with inventive local artwork, giving you a dose of creativity and warmth as the days get shorter. Over at the Meloy Gallery, Joe Reno’s “Floral to Comos” paintings are on display for those looking to get inspired by some color.

    The Bellingham Farmers Market is open at Depot Market Square until mid-afternoon, bustling with local produce, crafts, and specialty goods—an excellent way to support your neighbors, discover tasty treats, and pick up a few early gifts. If hands-on learning is your thing, consider the Pine Needle Basketry workshop at Chuckanut Center this afternoon. You’ll be guided through traditional weaving techniques and leave with your own foraged creation—perfect for crafty souls and curious kids.

    Feeling the itch to perform or ready to showcase your musical chops? Aslan Brewing Co. hosts Open Mic Night from 7 to 10 tonight. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just want to enjoy local talent with a fresh pint, it’s a lively, welcoming gathering at the Depot.

    For families, Maritime Heritage Park offers nature walks and hands-on activities.

And for history buffs or those who love a good spooky story, tonight’s Fairhaven Ghost Tour is the perfect walk through Bellingham’s shadowy past—just bring a jacket for the chill.

    As a quick traffic note, all northbound lanes on a major route were briefly blocked earlier this week after a semi-truck crash. Crews responded quickly, and thoroughfares are clear this morning. At the airport, ongoing federal disruptions may impact flights and travel plans—if you’re heading to Canada or beyond, best check with your carrier before heading out.

    Looking ahead, tomorrow there’s community dancing at The Majestic Ballroom and the first general meeting of the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club at Backcountry Essentials, for those already dreaming of snowy trails.

    That wraps up today’s pulse of Bellingham: from arts and adventure, to family-friendly activities and community spirit. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Busy Bellingham Saturday: Farmers Markets, Holiday Bazaars, and Performing Arts"

    "Busy Bellingham Saturday: Farmers Markets, Holiday Bazaars, and Performing Arts"
    2025/11/08
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.

    It is a busy fall Saturday here in Bellingham, so let’s dive into everything you need to know and do around our wonderful city. First up, a word of caution for travelers: the government shutdown is now affecting Bellingham International Airport, leading to several flight cancellations, including at least one Alaska Airlines route to Seattle. The Port urges everyone flying today to double-check flight status online before heading out, as this situation continues to evolve. Stay patient and plan ahead if you’re catching a flight.

    Meanwhile, around town, there’s no shortage of happenings to lift your spirits. If you’re ready to kickstart your weekend, the Bellingham Farmers Market at Depot Market Square is running from 10 to 2, offering the freshest late-season produce, handmade treasures, and the welcoming hum of our local community. Right nearby, the Creative Corner Artisan Market adds even more options for unique gifts from our local makers, perfect for getting ahead on holiday shopping.

    Speaking of the holidays, shopping fans can enjoy the 43rd Annual Holiday Bazaar at Bellingham Covenant Church from 9 to 4. More than 50 vendors are on hand with crafts, jewelry, artwork, and clothing, plus proceeds from baked goods benefit local charities—so your snack can do some good while you browse. If you’re feeling adventurous, wander up to Ferndale to explore the 25th Annual Nordic Fest. That’s Scandinavian culture on full display, from crafts and parades to a tempting spread at the Norsk café. Admission is five dollars for adults, and kids under twelve get in free.

    For live entertainment, how about a little Shakespeare? Idiom Theater’s run of Twelfth Night continues tonight—a classic comedy full of romance and mistaken identity, and a rare chance to catch the Bard performed in such an intimate venue. Curtain rises at 7:30, but make sure to grab those tickets early. More of a music buff? Indie and alt-hip hop fans can catch Felly, with opener Breakup Shoes, playing Wild Buffalo at nine tonight, while lovers of loud riffs can head to the Shakedown where Seattle’s Re-buried and Noroth join local acts for a night of epic metal.

    Art lovers, you are not left out. The PURE JOY exhibition at Cordata Gallery and Floral to Comos, featuring Joe Reno’s paintings at Meloy Gallery, are both open today, offering a colorful escape from grey Pacific Northwest skies. And for something hands-on, Garden Spot Nursery hosts a terrarium workshop at ten, while the Whatcom Museum invites you to try cedar weaving or spot salmon returning at Maritime Heritage Park this afternoon.

    Sports fans, make your way to Harrington Field at one o’clock as Western Washington women’s soccer, ranked twelfth in the nation, wraps up their regular season against Central Washington. Or, if hockey is more your flavor, WWU faces UC San Diego tonight at the Bellingham Sportsplex.

    As sunset nears, Zuanich Point Park becomes the dance floor for this evening’s Silent Disco—just grab a headset, dance in the open air, and make some memories. And remember, Veterans Day is around the corner and Whatcom County Veterans Program stands ready to support those who served with resources and heartfelt gratitude, so reach out if you know a veteran in need of assistance.

    That wraps it up for today’s events and updates. However you choose to spend your Saturday, here’s to enjoying the community, creativity, and connection that make Bellingham one of the best places to be. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Bellingham Local: Elections, Weather, and Community Events for November 6th, 2025.

    Bellingham Local: Elections, Weather, and Community Events for November 6th, 2025.
    2025/11/06
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, November 6th, 2025.

    Bellingham is buzzing this morning with the results and aftermath of this week’s local elections, which are setting the stage for some big changes throughout Whatcom County. Voters gave an emphatic yes to expanding the Port of Bellingham commission from three to five members, a move that supporters say should make port governance more transparent and collaborative. The new districts are expected to be drawn up early next year, and those extra seats will be filled in the 2026 elections. There was a nail-biter race for Port District 2, with business owner Carly James just edging out incumbent Ken Bell in one of the most closely watched local races in years. At the county level, council seats saw a mix of familiar faces and new perspectives, including decisive wins for Elizabeth Boyle and Jessica Rienstra, signaling fresh input on county priorities. On the city scene, Blaine voters backed a plan to de-annex a large swath of their eastern urban growth area, potentially altering housing strategies not just in Blaine but influencing development discussions across our region.

    Now let’s turn to the weather, and it’s definitely one for the rain boots and windbreakers. Frequent showers are rolling through Bellingham today, with gusty winds that could hit up to 45 miles per hour by the afternoon, especially closer to the water. If you’re heading out into eastern Whatcom County, be advised there’s a winter weather warning in effect until tomorrow morning with the potential for hazardous conditions. Coastal areas could see some minor flooding at high tide, depending on how strong those winds get. Boat owners, take note—there’s a small craft advisory through the afternoon, so play it safe if you’re heading out on the bay.

    On the waterfront, there’s good news for environmental progress. The Port of Bellingham has just completed a major phase of dredging at the I and J Waterway, one of a dozen sites targeted for environmental cleanup in Bellingham Bay. While some pile driving work and dock construction are still underway, the port expects the entire project wrapped up by February, promising not just cleaner water but a healthier ecosystem and better access for waterfront businesses and residents.

    Looking for things to do today and into the weekend? You’re in luck. Tonight, the Aslan Brewing Depot is hosting Gilmore Girls Trivia from six to eight, while Flatstick Pub has its always-popular Bingo night from seven on. If you want to get active, check out indoor bocce at the Bellingham Sportsplex late this morning, or swing by the Karate Church for Flow Fusion Dance starting at seven. Early-night explorers can join Navigators’ Night at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal Dome Room from five to eight, which is perfect for maritime enthusiasts and families. Later this evening, The Upfront Theatre has you covered for laughs and games with Humor for Housing at seven thirty and, for the night owls, Game Night with Blood on the Clocktower at nine thirty. If live music sounds good, Zeeks Pizza on Meridian is hosting tunes from seven to nine.

    Keep an eye out for more events rolling in on Friday and Saturday, like the Bellingham Farmers Market, local art shows, and volunteer work parties at Sehome Arboretum and the salmon reserve—it’s a great chance to help out and connect with your neighbors.

    That wraps up your Thursday on Bellingham Local Frequency. Stay safe out there in this wild November weather, enjoy the best our city has to offer, and keep an ear out for more updates as your community continues to evolve. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Election Results, Civic Engagement, and Vibrant Community - Bellingham Local Frequency Update

    Election Results, Civic Engagement, and Vibrant Community - Bellingham Local Frequency Update
    2025/11/05
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, November 5th, 2025.

    We wake up this morning in the heart of election week, where ballots cast by thousands of Bellingham and Whatcom County residents are shaping the future of our schools, city, and county. Local levies crucial to the school district’s funding are passing with strong support—over 66 percent for the supplemental operations levy and more than 62 percent for the facilities maintenance levy. These votes help to fund vital programs, staff positions, and services, and district staff, families, and students are expressing their gratitude to all who participated. City races are also coming into focus: in City Council contests, Hollie Huthman has taken a commanding lead for Ward 2, while Skip Williams and Michael Lilliquist are ahead in Wards 4 and 6 respectively. The Initiative to protect tenants’ rights, prohibiting landlords from interfering with tenant activities, is passing by more than 70 percent, a significant development for renters citywide.

    Regionally, the Port of Bellingham may soon grow its commission from three to five members, a change approved by voters with over 64 percent support. Over at the county level, a series of propositions—with topics ranging from government audits to redistricting—received clear direction from residents: voters decisively approved measures calling for performance audits, clarifying official duties, and enhancing financial reporting, while turning down the creation of an Ombuds office and councilmember aides.

    If your ballot is still out, remember, it needs to be postmarked by 8 p.m. today or dropped in an official box, and updates from the county auditor’s office will roll in as counting continues. An estimated 15,000 ballots are still to be counted, so keep watching for those numbers to shift as we await the next update at 5 p.m.

    Shifting from civic duty to community enjoyment, today in Bellingham is packed with things to do. Start your morning with music at Trinity Lutheran Church, where the BMC Matinee Program takes the stage at 10:30. Art lovers can experience Bellingham Illuminations, a glowing celebration of creativity running all day at the Whatcom Art Center, or catch the “PURE JOY” exhibition at Cordata Gallery from 11 to 4. If you’re seeking inspiration from local student artists, don’t miss the “By the Books” show at Whatcom Community College’s Heiner Theater.

    For some midday relaxation, it’s College Day at NEKO Cat Cafe from noon until 5:45, or take a sip and tour at Chuckanut Bay Distillery downtown. Music fans will want to check out tonight’s live performance by Twanguero at Mount Baker Theatre at 7:30. Stones Throw Brewery is also hosting live local acts from 6 to 8, creating the perfect setting to unwind with friends.

    Trivia enthusiasts can test their knowledge at Cheba Hut or Flatstick Pub, both starting at 7, while the Birchwood Garden Club meets at the Whatcom Museum’s Rotunda Room for green thumbs looking to connect.

    If you’re exploring downtown, Western Wednesdays continue, offering deals and special happenings all day throughout shops and eateries. And if you’re in the mood for something a little different, Café con Conversación at Cafe Rumba invites locals for lively Spanish conversation between 6 and 8 p.m.

    In city news, construction continues on the Skyline at Cordata apartment development, promising to bring more housing options to our steadily growing community. Remember, November is Native American Heritage Month, and statewide events are celebrating indigenous cultures through the week, so keep an eye out for local gatherings and educational opportunities.

    That’s your dose of what’s happening, what’s impacting, and what’s worth celebrating here in Bellingham today. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Bellingham's Autumn Glow: Community Events, Sports, and Artistic Exploration
    2025/11/03
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, November 3rd, 2025. The autumn chill is in the air, but Bellingham’s calendar is heating up with community events, local news, and plenty of ways to embrace the week.

    First up, the city is still aglow from the launch of Bellingham Illuminations at the Whatcom Art Center. This nine-day art experience continues today, transforming Fairhaven’s historic district with light-infused installations, interactive blacklight exhibits, and hands-on luminary crafts. Open from 11 to 6, it’s an especially magical stop if you want to explore unique glowing masterpieces and support local art education—the proceeds help fund scholarships for Western Washington University students. Whether you’re a family seeking some weeknight adventure or an art lover eager to meet local creators, this is a can’t-miss on the Bellingham November scene.

    Sports fans, we’ve got action tonight as the Bellingham girls soccer squad faces Archbishop Murphy in a much-anticipated high school showdown. Expect fierce play and plenty of school spirit as the teams battle it out on the field. If you’re looking for something a little different, swing by Bloedel Donovan Community Building between 4 and 6 for GangBall—a fast-paced, indoor sport event sure to get hearts pumping.

    For anyone chasing a little Monday motivation, The Majestic Ballroom hosts its Monday Night Dance with the Bellingham Embodiment Collective tonight from 6:30 to 8. And if trivia’s more your speed, Zeeks Pizza Fountain on Meridian has their weekly Trivia Night from 6 to 8—grab a slice and test your wits with friends. Tomorrow, Cheba Hut’s Best Buds Bingo returns for those looking to keep the camaraderie rolling.

    A local highlight not to miss is the family-friendly scavenger hunt, “Bank Heist Bellingham.” It’s a fun way to challenge your puzzle skills and uncover clues throughout downtown, happening throughout the afternoon. For those passionate about art and history, several galleries, including Meloy Gallery and Cordata Gallery, have special exhibits up all month—perfect for an afternoon stroll when you need some inspiring visuals.

    Public safety officers have been busy lately with increased calls due to last week’s dry spell and wind. Fire officials urge residents to exercise extreme caution during outdoor activities, especially as vegetation is still recovering and susceptible to sparks. It’s a timely reminder as burning piles are expected to be visible in parts of the county.

    In other news, community hearts remain heavy after skeletal remains were identified last week along I-5. Authorities continue to investigate, and anyone with information is encouraged to reach out for assistance.

    Finally, as we move deeper into November, don’t forget about local workshops, dance classes, and the build-up to holiday pop-ups like the Shop Small Holiday Makers Market at Bellingham Cruise Terminal. There’s always something on the horizon, from book signings to pickleball tournaments.

    That’s it for today’s Bellingham Local Frequency. We hope you find something to connect with in our wonderful city, whether you’re competing, creating, or just enjoying a brisk walk somewhere beautiful. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Daylight Savings, Jazz Brunch, Salsa Dance, and More in Bellingham's Vibrant Sunday Scene

    Daylight Savings, Jazz Brunch, Salsa Dance, and More in Bellingham's Vibrant Sunday Scene
    2025/11/02
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.

    As you wake up this morning, don’t forget we’ve officially set our clocks back an hour as daylight saving time ends. That means the sun will be setting earlier, making these Pacific Northwest evenings arrive in a hurry. With darker afternoons, the city is reminding everyone to take extra care on the roads—whether you’re walking, cycling, or behind the wheel—and stay alert for more active wildlife at dusk and dawn. And with all this time shifting, it’s a perfect moment to check those smoke detectors, ensuring your home stays safe as the nights get longer.

    On to what’s happening around town today. Early risers can enjoy a local favorite, the Sunday Jazz Brunch at Hotel Leo running until two this afternoon. Treat yourself to good food and live jazz to keep that fall energy going. If you’re ready to start your Sunday with a little movement, salsa dance classes kick off at the Majestic Ballroom at five thirty, welcoming every skill level and guaranteed to bring some rhythm to your evening. Or, if you’re in the mood for music of a different sort, Aslan Brewing Company hosts their weekly open mic night from seven to ten p.m., where you can catch local talent or maybe take the stage yourself.

    Nature fans, today brings another opportunity to help plant a future forest for wildlife at the Whatcom Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, where community hands are joining together to make our corner of the world a little greener and safer for native critters. That’s especially timely, as Larrabee State Park rangers remind visitors to stay alert on trails after the sighting of a bobcat mom and her kittens. If you head that way, keep pets leashed and maintain respectful distance from wildlife—we share these beautiful spaces with an incredible variety of animal neighbors.

    Families looking for kid-friendly ideas, make sure to check out the local event calendars, with options ranging from outdoor playdates to art exhibits scattered across the city. And for those seeking creative inspiration or community, the Before I Die Festival continues today, inviting Bellingham residents of all ages to reflect, connect, and celebrate life in meaningful ways.

    On the civic front, Western Washington University remains a beacon of support for students of all backgrounds amid national debates over transgender rights. Campus leaders and student groups are doubling down on policies that foster inclusion, making sure every student feels safe and valued—something that extends beyond university walls into the broader Bellingham community.

    Just outside our region, the atmospheric river sweeping western Washington has caused some minor flooding in King County’s Snoqualmie Basin, but here in Bellingham, it’s mostly brought classic Northwest drizzle—a good reminder to keep your rain boots handy for weekend errands or your trip down to the farmers or artisan markets.

    Whatever you decide to do with your day, Bellingham is bustling with ways to connect, explore, and celebrate the richness of life in Whatcom County. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Blustery Saturday in Bellingham: Events, Sports, and Community News"

    "Blustery Saturday in Bellingham: Events, Sports, and Community News"
    2025/11/01
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, November 1st, 2025.

    The first weekend of November is here and Bellingham is abuzz with events and important local developments. If you’re heading outside today, brace yourself for some blustery conditions. There’s a wind advisory in effect for Northern Washington, with gusts reaching up to 45 miles an hour. It’s a good day to secure those patio chairs and keep travel plans flexible, especially if you’re headed to the coast.

    Let’s kick off with ways to fill your Saturday. The Bellingham Dockside Market at Squalicum Harbor and the always lively Farmers Market at Depot Market Square both open at 10. Families and foodies can meet new vendors, pick up fresh local produce, and enjoy the fall air. Art lovers can wander over to the Whatcom Art Center for Bellingham Illuminations, a unique daytime light exhibit running from eleven to six, or catch Joe Reno’s new paintings at the Meloy Gallery on Holly Street.

    This afternoon, those craving outdoor adventure can join a naturalist hike at Stimpson Family Nature Preserve, exploring the incredible world of trees, mushrooms, and ferns from one to four thirty. Community-driven folks are out early at Happy Valley Park for a volunteer work party, focused on keeping the park’s trails and green spaces beautiful. And if you’re feeling playful, drop in to the improv class at The Upfront Theatre at noon—no experience needed.

    For a fun and slightly spooky twist, the Fairhaven Ghost Tour sets off from Sycamore Square tonight, blending Bellingham’s historic tales with a Halloween hangover. And for those craving more performance, Mount Baker Theatre is hosting Kulshan Chorus Presents: Beyond the Veil tonight, promising a harmony-filled evening, or if you want to end your night with a jolt, The MegaZapper Show at the SPARK Museum lets you experience the thrill of high-voltage science in action.

    For sports fans, catch the Bellingham volleyball squad taking on Sehome at noon at Sehome High, or cheer on the WWU hockey team facing Idaho at the Bellingham Sportsplex this evening. Stones Throw Brewery keeps the rhythm going with live music from six to eight, while Zuanich Point Park is hosting a family friendly Sunset Silent Disco to dance as the daylight fades.

    On a more serious note, today marks the end of federal SNAP food assistance for nearly a million Washington residents due to the ongoing government shutdown. The state is stepping up emergency support for food banks, but local pantries including the Bellingham Food Bank are bracing for longer lines and higher demand. If you or someone you know needs help, resources and hours can be found at the Bellingham Food Bank or by using Washington 211. Community members are encouraged to consider donating or volunteering if able, as the ripple effects of this change will be felt across our neighborhoods.

    In civic news, a jury has awarded a $2.25 million verdict against the City of Bellingham, citing negligent handling of a police officer abuse case. This decision is drawing attention to issues of public trust and city accountability.

    Ending on a high note, Visit Bellingham recently took home a state tourism award for their promotion of our iconic scenic routes, Chuckanut Drive and the Mount Baker Highway—a win that shines a statewide spotlight on Bellingham’s natural beauty and tourism assets.

    That wraps up today’s dose of what’s happening and what’s impacting the community in Bellingham. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
