Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, July 26th, 2025. We are kicking off a sunny and warm weekend here in Bellingham, and there is plenty happening all over town to keep your summer spirits high.
First up, some great news for those following the missing person report from earlier this week. The individual last seen on North State Street on July 24th has been safely located, giving the community and their family peace of mind as we head into the weekend. As always, a big thank you to everyone who shared information and helped with the search.
Today is a big day for Bellingham’s music lovers and punk rock fans. The Fourth Corner Punk Fest is taking over The Landing at Evil Bikes in Fairhaven, starting at one in the afternoon. This all-ages event features an impressive lineup with bands like Face To Face, Strung Out, Teenage Bottlerocket, Broadway Calls, Warped Detour, All Hype, Cat Valley, and Living With a Bear. Alongside the music, expect games, contests, flash tattoo artists, and an Aslan Brewing beer garden for those 21 and over. If you haven’t snagged your ticket yet, move fast because this festival is nearly sold out.
If you’re more into classic cars than electric guitars, Sudden Valley is hosting the Valley Fair Car Show at 8 Barn View Court, Gate 2. The show kicks off at 10:30, and it’s always a favorite for families and gearheads to mingle and peruse everything from vintage beauties to unique custom rides.
For families and those looking for daytime activities, keep in mind the wide array of options today. The Whatcom Museum is offering their interactive FIG Artists Corner and Studio from ten to four thirty. Marine Life Center is open for those wanting to get up close with local sea creatures. Arne Hanna Aquatic Center provides ample pool time for preschoolers and families all day long, while Boulevard Park will host a free Summer Concert in the Park tonight from six to eight.
Across the county, fire restrictions are ramping up with new Stage 2 burn bans now in effect. That means no outdoor burning of any kind, not even for recreational campfires or beach fires. This step is being taken as warmer, dryer weather and some haze from wildfire smoke move into our area, raising the risk of accidental fires.
Also, a heads up to beachgoers and seafood lovers: a number of Whatcom beaches are currently closed to shellfish harvesting due to safety concerns, so check before you dig for clams or oysters.
Traffic advisory for drivers tonight: expect lane and ramp closures along ten miles of Interstate 5 in Whatcom County between 8 PM and 5 AM for ongoing roadwork. In addition, parts of Hannegan Road will see emergency bridge repairs, which could add a few minutes to your trip.
Whether you are heading out for music, classic cars, or a swim and stroll in the sunshine, Bellingham has something for everyone this weekend. Stay safe, watch for updates on fire and air quality, and be sure to get out and enjoy our beautiful city.
This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
