Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Friday, February 7, 2025.

First off, let's talk about the weather. A winter storm watch has been issued for western Whatcom County, with heavy snow and total snow accumulations between 2 and 7 inches possible. Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing, and there's a chance of rain turning to snow through the weekend. So, make sure to bundle up and stay safe on the roads.

In other news, if you're a homeowner in Whatcom County, you might be experiencing some issues with your insurance. There have been instances of companies reducing their risk in certain areas by not renewing policies on some homes. It's not just you; it's a trend that's been noticed across the county.

On a more serious note, the Puget Sound blood supply is at emergency levels. Everyone who is healthy, especially type O and platelet donors, are asked to schedule a donation as soon as possible. Your help could save lives.

Now, let's switch gears to some local events. Tonight, Bellingham TheatreWorks is presenting "Deep Blue Sound" at the FireHouse Arts & Events Center. This play is a funny and moving story about the connections we make to other people and to the world around us. Tickets are $25 general and $15 for students.

If you're looking for something a bit more musical, the Jazz Center of Bellingham has a lot going on. The 2025 Spring Art of Jazz Series kicks off with the KJS Trio, featuring Steve Korn on drums, Jeff Johnson on bass, and Marc Seales on piano. Tickets are free for Jazz Project members and $20 at the door.

Also, the Bellingham Community Chamber Orchestra is hosting a concert inspired by dance. The program features Respighi’s "Ancient Airs" and "Dances Suite 3," and William Grant Still’s "Danzas de Panama." There's a suggested donation of $20 at the door.

For families, the Bellinghome School of Music is having their annual Winter Recital. This is a chance for young musicians to showcase what they've been working on in their musical studies. The recital schedule includes performances at 11:00 AM, 12:15 PM, 5:00 PM, 6:15 PM, and 7:30 PM.

Finally, if you're looking for something to do next week, the FireHouse Arts & Events Center has a variety of events lined up. On Monday, you can catch the Scot Rainey Jazz Trio or Simon Llewelyn Evans performing live. And on Fat Tuesday, The Atlantics will be playing a dance party to get you moving.
