Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 9th, 2025.

The city is buzzing with summer energy and there’s no shortage of things to do in Bellingham today. Let’s dive right into what’s happening around town and what you need to know.

First, if you’re raising young ones or just want some easy fun, Regal’s Summer Movie Express is showing Paw Patrol The Movie today for just one dollar a ticket. Screenings are at 10:30 and 11:30 this morning, making it the perfect cool escape for families looking to beat the summer heat and squeeze in some extra big-screen magic before lunchtime.

Right downtown, the Arts District will be alive tonight with the latest in the free Downtown Sounds concert series. This evening, the Bellingham Queer Collective is hosting their Center Social Hours, welcoming all queer friends and allies to drop into the center, mingle, and enjoy the vibrant neighborhood energy. If you’re craving even more community connection, you can join the Belling-Queerstory walking tour to explore the city’s queer history or look forward to the upcoming Pride Family Picnic and dance happening this weekend.

Art lovers and curious minds, don’t miss the Wheelie Good Time event at the Family Interactive Gallery in the Whatcom Museum. This all-day, hands-on experience offers interactive fun for all ages, open from 10 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon.

For those with a taste for something refined as the sun goes down, Winesday at Hotel Bellwether features pours from Mark Ryan Winery at the Lighthouse Pub. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing midweek outing, it promises good company and great drinks starting this evening.

In city news, the City of Bellingham has unveiled designs for its new skatepark under the Roeder Avenue Bridge downtown. The project, budgeted at up to three million dollars, will take shape in partnership with the Northwest Skate Collective, transforming sixteen thousand square feet into a future hotspot for skateboarding, live music, and art. Public input will be welcomed in the coming months, so keep an eye out if you want your voice heard in shaping this new community space.

A quick safety note for those who draw water directly from Lake Whatcom: a public health alert has been issued due to possible water contamination near Camp Firewood. Take precautions if you live in the area and stay tuned for further updates from local health officials.

On the roads, traffic has mostly returned to normal after recent closures, but do watch out for ongoing work in the county—flaggers may be directing single-lane traffic through some work zones between early morning and two in the afternoon.

And for baseball fans, don’t forget the Bellingham Bells are in full swing at Joe Martin Field. You can catch them playing throughout July—an affordable way for the whole family to enjoy America’s pastime right here at home.

That’s the pulse of Bellingham for today. Whether you’re catching a film, making new friends downtown, or just soaking up our lively summer scene, there’s something for everyone. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
