    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, April 23rd.

    We're heading into a busy weekend here in Whatcom County, and if you love the outdoors, you won't want to miss what's coming up. This Saturday, April 25th, trails across the region take center stage as part of the national Celebrate Trails Day.

Picture neighbors in fantastical creature costumes celebrating nature, building bonds and sparking joy across generations.

    Kids and families have endless fun today: drop into Whatcom Family Village for free play from 9:30 to 11:30am, catch Little Storytime at Bellingham Public Library at 10:35am, or read with dogs at Village Books at 11am.
