Flooding Concerns, Community Events, and Immigration Raid Updates - Bellingham Local Frequency
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, April 5, 2025.
Today in Bellingham, the skies are gray, and the rain is making its presence felt. Heavy rainfall continues this weekend, and the Nooksack River is forecasted to approach action levels by Monday night. Make sure to prepare for localized flooding and exercise caution on wet roads. Speaking of travel, a recent rollover crash on I-5 sent two to the hospital and has reminded us all to drive safely, especially in these slick conditions.
In event news, there’s plenty to do around town! At noon, the Federal Building downtown will host **Hands Off! Bellingham Fights Back**, a gathering by the EcoReformers Movement to unite the community against injustice. Over at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center, Deb Talan will be performing from 2 to 4:30 p.m., offering a musical treat for your afternoon. Fans of live music can also head to The Shakedown tonight for *DEAL: An Evening of Grateful Dead Music*. If you love the classics, this event starts at 8 p.m. for some good vibes and great tunes.
For those in the mood for culture and culinary delights, don’t miss the Bellingham Festival of Music’s *Around the World in 22 Days* dinner and live auction. This elegant evening starts at 6 p.m. and promises an exciting mix of food, music, and community. Tickets are still available for this premier event.
Also, a reminder for those interested in civic engagement: next week, the Bellingham Transportation Commission will meet on Tuesday, April 8, to discuss making Barkley Village more multimodal-friendly. It’s a great opportunity to weigh in on how we design our city for pedestrians and cyclists.
On a more serious note, the community is still responding to the ICE raid earlier this week at Mount Baker Roofing, which detained 37 workers. Local representatives, including U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, have called for accountability and greater transparency from federal agencies, citing concerns about fear and economic impacts on small businesses. It’s a developing story that has left many in the community uneasy.
Looking ahead to recreation: while the Mt. Baker Ski Area remains closed for avalanche safety, this is an ideal time to explore local indoor options or enjoy a cozy weekend at home with a cup of tea while the rain comes down.
That’s a wrap for today! This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
