  • Bellingham November News: Granary Fire, Port Race, Arts & Music
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025.
    Bellingham is waking up to crisp November skies and a busy day ahead. In local headlines, there was some drama over at the Ferndale Granary yesterday afternoon as a fire broke out during demolition work. First responders from Whatcom County Fire District 7 were able to quickly get the flames under control, with no injuries reported. The granary has been a local landmark, so its demolition and that unexpected fire have been quite the talk around Ferndale.
    On the civic front, the Port of Bellingham District 2 race saw newcomer Carly James leading against incumbent Ken Bell, with nearly 51 percent of the vote. James, known for running Bison Bookbinding and Letterpress downtown, is poised to step into the role, bringing fresh ideas to port operations. Ballots are still being finalized, but the outcome is looking historic for District 2.
    Turning to things to do, art lovers: Western students are showcasing their creative side with the "By the Books" student art exhibit at the WCC Library, open all day for free. Young minds and families can enjoy a hands-on experience at the Whatcom Museum’s Family Interactive Gallery, open until 4:30 today, with plenty of imaginative play-and-create opportunities.
    Music buffs should circle tonight on your calendar. Soul-pop singer Allen Stone is performing live at the iconic Mount Baker Theatre at 7:30 pm. If you’re in the mood for something a little more late-night, The Shakedown on State Street is hosting the Twilight Rave, with doors opening at 8:30. Expect energetic sets from local DJs and a lively crowd, so dust off those dancing shoes.
    Trivia and community nights are in the air too. Zeeks Pizza is the spot for their ongoing trivia contest this evening, a perfect chance for some friendly competition and pizza slices. If you’re looking for a more reflective vibe, Christ the King Community Church continues its Senior’s Bible Study and Lunch for those seeking connection and conversation.
    Around downtown, small businesses are rolling out seasonal menus and window displays. There's a buzz as folks gear up for holiday markets later this month, with artisan pop-up events and local makers prepping their booths—even if the main festivities kick off in December, storefronts are definitely getting festive.
    In the world of sports, Western Washington University Vikings are in the thick of crossover season, so keep an eye out for game days and athlete sightings all week.

  • "Northern Lights, Live Music, and Community Events in Bellingham"
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025.
    Skies over Whatcom County could be putting on a rare and spectacular show tonight, as the northern lights may make an appearance thanks to recent solar activity. NOAA forecasts a strong geomagnetic storm, increasing our chances of seeing vivid colors dance across the northern sky. Cloudy and rainy conditions persist, so visibility will be hit-or-miss, but you may catch a glimpse near midnight if the clouds part just right. For your best shot, find a dark spot with an open view north, and remember, sometimes your phone camera captures more of the aurora than the naked eye. If you spot them, share your photos to help us capture the moment for the whole community.
    On the local events scene, Mount Baker Theatre is bringing some soul to downtown tonight as Allen Stone takes the stage at 7:30. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering his sound for the first time, this promises to be one of the most feel-good live music events of the month.
    If you’re looking for something interactive, Twilight Rave takes over the Shakedown with DJs starting at 9, perfect for anyone who wants to dance the night away in high-energy style. Families with little ones can explore the hands-on Cute as a Button workshop at the Whatcom Museum’s Family Interactive Gallery today, running from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It’s a chance for kids to get creative, sewing on Corduroy’s button and tapping into some playful learning under the guidance of museum staff.
    For the book lovers, Village Books in Fairhaven hosts author Nicola Pearson in conversation with Brenda Miller this evening at 6—an excellent spot to cozy up and engage in meaningful literary conversation. If art is calling your name, don’t miss the WCC Student Art Show, “By the Books,” celebrating emerging talents at Whatcom Community College throughout the day.
    In civic news, the Port of Bellingham has a new face on its commission—Carly James appears to have edged out incumbent Ken Bell in a close vote. Change at the port could have ripple effects for development and our working waterfront, so it’s one to watch.
    Across the county, first responders quickly contained a fire yesterday at the old Ferndale Granary as demolition continues. No major damage was reported, but it’s a reminder of both the area’s industrial history and the ongoing changes shaping our region.
    With all these happenings, remember to look out for each other and take advantage of everything our city and county have to offer this week, whether you’re yearning for art, adventure, music, or just a fresh view of the night sky.
    This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Bellingham Monday: Weather Alerts, Road Disruptions, and Community Events"
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, November 10, 2025. It is a crisp start to the week here in the city of subdued excitement, and we have a full slate of local news and activities to help guide your day.
    First up, be aware of some ongoing disruptions on the roads. All northbound lanes were blocked in Bellingham earlier after a semi-truck struck the concrete barriers, so if you plan to travel through that corridor, aim for alternate routes and give yourself extra time. Looking further afield, if you’re heading out on the Mount Baker Highway starting tomorrow, be prepared for some rolling slowdowns between Cornell Creek Road and Swamp Creek as film crews take over the area for event filming from 7 am to 4 pm through Thursday. Uniformed officers will be on site, and minor delays are expected in both directions, so plan accordingly.
    Bellingham is feeling the fall weather in full force. While a winter weather advisory is in effect through Friday for Mount Baker and higher elevations—the mountain could see another one to two feet of snow—here in town we’ll be dealing with gusty winds later this week. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for Thursday, so keep an eye out for downed tree limbs and the possibility of brief power outages. Also, all this wind and rain mean a flood watch is in place, especially in areas where leaves are clogging storm drains, so take care in neighborhoods with slow drainage.
    On the activities front, there is no shortage of ways to connect and create today. At Bloedel Donovan’s community building, sports enthusiasts can join in on GangBall from 4 to 6 pm, while over at The Majestic Ballroom on North Forest, the Bellingham Embodiment Collective hosts a Monday Night Dance starting at 6:30. Trivia fans can head to Zeeks Pizza on Meridian for their weekly trivia night from six to eight. If you are keen to blend learning and community, the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club is holding its first general meeting of the ski season at Backcountry Essentials on North State Street from 7 to 8:30 this evening—all are welcome.
    Art lovers might want to stop by the Meloy Gallery for Joe Reno’s “Floral to Comos” exhibition, and if you are looking for literary inspiration, Village Books is hosting Maya Jewell Zeller at 6 pm, leading a lively discussion on the wonder of mushrooms. For music and mingling, El Sueñito Brewing on Humboldt Street brings Ritual Records Night from 7 to 9, and The Shakedown on North State Street offers an evening show starting at 8.
    Sports fans get an early start as Western Washington University’s hockey team faces Cal at 10 am at the Bellingham Sportsplex. It is a great matchup to spice up your Monday.
    On the local news beat, election results are still being tallied and will be certified later this month, while officials remind residents to not be alarmed by any visible controlled burns in eastern Whatcom County—they are approved and managed.
    That is a wrap on today’s hap

    If you’re headed out, start your Sunday right at the Hotel Leo for their jazz brunch, which runs until 2 this afternoon—an ideal spot to fuel up with great food and live tunes.

    The Bellingham Farmers Market is open at Depot Market Square until mid-afternoon, bustling with local produce, crafts, and specialty goods—an excellent way to support your neighbors, discover tasty treats, and pick up a few early gifts. If hands-on learning is your thing, consider the Pine Needle Basketry workshop at Chuckanut Center this afternoon. You’ll be guided through traditional weaving techniques and leave with your own foraged creation—perfect for crafty souls and curious kids.
    Feeling the itch to perform or ready to showcase your musical chops? Aslan Brewing Co. hosts Open Mic Night from 7 to 10 tonight. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just want to enjoy local talent with a fresh pint, it’s a lively, welcoming gathering at the Depot.
    For families, Maritime Heritage Park offers nature walks and hands-on activities. Head to Cordata Place or browse the Creative Corner Artisan Market for more family-friendly fun, featuring crafts and music that bring together folks of all ages. Over on Lummi Island, the holiday art tour is happening today, giving visitors a chance to explore stunning pieces in a gorgeous setting—always a treat before the holiday rush begins.
    Sports enthusiasts can cheer on Western Washington University’s hockey team, who are racking up action at the Bellingham Sportsplex this weekend. And for history buffs or those who love a good spooky story, tonight’s Fairhaven Ghost Tour is the perfect walk through Bellingham’s shadowy past—just bring a jacket for the chill.
    As a quick traffic note, all northbound lanes on a major route were briefly blocked earlier this week after a semi-truck crash. Crews responded quickly, and thoroughfares are clear this morning. At the airport, ongoing federal disruptions may impact flights and travel plans—if you’re heading to Canada or beyond, best check with your carrier before heading out.
    Looking ahead, tomorrow there’s community dancing at The Majestic Ballroom and the first general meeting of the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club at Backcountry Essentials, for those already dreaming of snowy trails.

  • "Busy Bellingham Saturday: Farmers Markets, Holiday Bazaars, and Performing Arts"
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.
    It is a busy fall Saturday here in Bellingham, so let’s dive into everything you need to know and do around our wonderful city. First up, a word of caution for travelers: the government shutdown is now affecting Bellingham International Airport, leading to several flight cancellations, including at least one Alaska Airlines route to Seattle. The Port urges everyone flying today to double-check flight status online before heading out, as this situation continues to evolve. Stay patient and plan ahead if you’re catching a flight.
    Meanwhile, around town, there’s no shortage of happenings to lift your spirits. If you’re ready to kickstart your weekend, the Bellingham Farmers Market at Depot Market Square is running from 10 to 2, offering the freshest late-season produce, handmade treasures, and the welcoming hum of our local community. Right nearby, the Creative Corner Artisan Market adds even more options for unique gifts from our local makers, perfect for getting ahead on holiday shopping.
    Speaking of the holidays, shopping fans can enjoy the 43rd Annual Holiday Bazaar at Bellingham Covenant Church from 9 to 4. More than 50 vendors are on hand with crafts, jewelry, artwork, and clothing, plus proceeds from baked goods benefit local charities—so your snack can do some good while you browse. If you’re feeling adventurous, wander up to Ferndale to explore the 25th Annual Nordic Fest. That’s Scandinavian culture on full display, from crafts and parades to a tempting spread at the Norsk café. Admission is five dollars for adults, and kids under twelve get in free.
    For live entertainment, how about a little Shakespeare? Idiom Theater’s run of Twelfth Night continues tonight—a classic comedy full of romance and mistaken identity, and a rare chance to catch the Bard performed in such an intimate venue. Curtain rises at 7:30, but make sure to grab those tickets early. More of a music buff? Indie and alt-hip hop fans can catch Felly, with opener Breakup Shoes, playing Wild Buffalo at nine tonight, while lovers of loud riffs can head to the Shakedown where Seattle’s Re-buried and Noroth join local acts for a night of epic metal.
    Art lovers, you are not left out. The PURE JOY exhibition at Cordata Gallery and Floral to Comos, featuring Joe Reno’s paintings at Meloy Gallery, are both open today, offering a colorful escape from grey Pacific Northwest skies. And for something hands-on, Garden Spot Nursery hosts a terrarium workshop at ten, while the Whatcom Museum invites you to try cedar weaving or spot salmon returning at Maritime Heritage Park this afternoon.
    Sports fans, make your way to Harrington Field at one o’clock as Western Washington women’s soccer, ranked twelfth in the nation, wraps up their regular season against Central Washington. Or, if hockey is more your flavor, WWU faces UC San Diego tonight at the Bellingham Sportsplex.

  • Bellingham Local: Elections, Weather, and Community Events for November 6th, 2025.
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, November 6th, 2025.
    Bellingham is buzzing this morning with the results and aftermath of this week’s local elections, which are setting the stage for some big changes throughout Whatcom County. Voters gave an emphatic yes to expanding the Port of Bellingham commission from three to five members, a move that supporters say should make port governance more transparent and collaborative. The new districts are expected to be drawn up early next year, and those extra seats will be filled in the 2026 elections. There was a nail-biter race for Port District 2, with business owner Carly James just edging out incumbent Ken Bell in one of the most closely watched local races in years. At the county level, council seats saw a mix of familiar faces and new perspectives, including decisive wins for Elizabeth Boyle and Jessica Rienstra, signaling fresh input on county priorities. On the city scene, Blaine voters backed a plan to de-annex a large swath of their eastern urban growth area, potentially altering housing strategies not just in Blaine but influencing development discussions across our region.
    Now let’s turn to the weather, and it’s definitely one for the rain boots and windbreakers. Frequent showers are rolling through Bellingham today, with gusty winds that could hit up to 45 miles per hour by the afternoon, especially closer to the water. If you’re heading out into eastern Whatcom County, be advised there’s a winter weather warning in effect until tomorrow morning with the potential for hazardous conditions. Coastal areas could see some minor flooding at high tide, depending on how strong those winds get. Boat owners, take note—there’s a small craft advisory through the afternoon, so play it safe if you’re heading out on the bay.
    On the waterfront, there’s good news for environmental progress. The Port of Bellingham has just completed a major phase of dredging at the I and J Waterway, one of a dozen sites targeted for environmental cleanup in Bellingham Bay. While some pile driving work and dock construction are still underway, the port expects the entire project wrapped up by February, promising not just cleaner water but a healthier ecosystem and better access for waterfront businesses and residents.
    Looking for things to do today and into the weekend? You’re in luck. Tonight, the Aslan Brewing Depot is hosting Gilmore Girls Trivia from six to eight, while Flatstick Pub has its always-popular Bingo night from seven on. If you want to get active, check out indoor bocce at the Bellingham Sportsplex late this morning, or swing by the Karate Church for Flow Fusion Dance starting at seven. Early-night explorers can join Navigators’ Night at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal Dome Room from five to eight, which is perfect for maritime enthusiasts and families. Later this evening, The Upfront Theatre has you covered for laughs and games with Humor for Housing at seven thirty and, for th

  • Election Results, Civic Engagement, and Vibrant Community - Bellingham Local Frequency Update
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, November 5th, 2025.
    We wake up this morning in the heart of election week, where ballots cast by thousands of Bellingham and Whatcom County residents are shaping the future of our schools, city, and county. Local levies crucial to the school district’s funding are passing with strong support—over 66 percent for the supplemental operations levy and more than 62 percent for the facilities maintenance levy. These votes help to fund vital programs, staff positions, and services, and district staff, families, and students are expressing their gratitude to all who participated. City races are also coming into focus: in City Council contests, Hollie Huthman has taken a commanding lead for Ward 2, while Skip Williams and Michael Lilliquist are ahead in Wards 4 and 6 respectively. The Initiative to protect tenants’ rights, prohibiting landlords from interfering with tenant activities, is passing by more than 70 percent, a significant development for renters citywide.
    Regionally, the Port of Bellingham may soon grow its commission from three to five members, a change approved by voters with over 64 percent support. Over at the county level, a series of propositions—with topics ranging from government audits to redistricting—received clear direction from residents: voters decisively approved measures calling for performance audits, clarifying official duties, and enhancing financial reporting, while turning down the creation of an Ombuds office and councilmember aides.
    If your ballot is still out, remember, it needs to be postmarked by 8 p.m. today or dropped in an official box, and updates from the county auditor’s office will roll in as counting continues. An estimated 15,000 ballots are still to be counted, so keep watching for those numbers to shift as we await the next update at 5 p.m.
    Shifting from civic duty to community enjoyment, today in Bellingham is packed with things to do. Start your morning with music at Trinity Lutheran Church, where the BMC Matinee Program takes the stage at 10:30. Art lovers can experience Bellingham Illuminations, a glowing celebration of creativity running all day at the Whatcom Art Center, or catch the “PURE JOY” exhibition at Cordata Gallery from 11 to 4. If you’re seeking inspiration from local student artists, don’t miss the “By the Books” show at Whatcom Community College’s Heiner Theater.
    For some midday relaxation, it’s College Day at NEKO Cat Cafe from noon until 5:45, or take a sip and tour at Chuckanut Bay Distillery downtown. Music fans will want to check out tonight’s live performance by Twanguero at Mount Baker Theatre at 7:30. Stones Throw Brewery is also hosting live local acts from 6 to 8, creating the perfect setting to unwind with friends.
    Trivia enthusiasts can test their knowledge at Cheba Hut or Flatstick Pub, both starting at 7, while the Birchwood Garden Club meets at the Whatcom Museum’s Rotunda Room for green thumbs lookin

  • Bellingham's Autumn Glow: Community Events, Sports, and Artistic Exploration
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, November 3rd, 2025. The autumn chill is in the air, but Bellingham’s calendar is heating up with community events, local news, and plenty of ways to embrace the week.
    First up, the city is still aglow from the launch of Bellingham Illuminations at the Whatcom Art Center. This nine-day art experience continues today, transforming Fairhaven’s historic district with light-infused installations, interactive blacklight exhibits, and hands-on luminary crafts. Open from 11 to 6, it’s an especially magical stop if you want to explore unique glowing masterpieces and support local art education—the proceeds help fund scholarships for Western Washington University students. Whether you’re a family seeking some weeknight adventure or an art lover eager to meet local creators, this is a can’t-miss on the Bellingham November scene.
    Sports fans, we’ve got action tonight as the Bellingham girls soccer squad faces Archbishop Murphy in a much-anticipated high school showdown. Expect fierce play and plenty of school spirit as the teams battle it out on the field. If you’re looking for something a little different, swing by Bloedel Donovan Community Building between 4 and 6 for GangBall—a fast-paced, indoor sport event sure to get hearts pumping.
    For anyone chasing a little Monday motivation, The Majestic Ballroom hosts its Monday Night Dance with the Bellingham Embodiment Collective tonight from 6:30 to 8. And if trivia’s more your speed, Zeeks Pizza Fountain on Meridian has their weekly Trivia Night from 6 to 8—grab a slice and test your wits with friends. Tomorrow, Cheba Hut’s Best Buds Bingo returns for those looking to keep the camaraderie rolling.
    A local highlight not to miss is the family-friendly scavenger hunt, “Bank Heist Bellingham.” It’s a fun way to challenge your puzzle skills and uncover clues throughout downtown, happening throughout the afternoon. For those passionate about art and history, several galleries, including Meloy Gallery and Cordata Gallery, have special exhibits up all month—perfect for an afternoon stroll when you need some inspiring visuals.
    Public safety officers have been busy lately with increased calls due to last week’s dry spell and wind. Fire officials urge residents to exercise extreme caution during outdoor activities, especially as vegetation is still recovering and susceptible to sparks. It’s a timely reminder as burning piles are expected to be visible in parts of the county.
    In other news, community hearts remain heavy after skeletal remains were identified last week along I-5. Authorities continue to investigate, and anyone with information is encouraged to reach out for assistance.
    Finally, as we move deeper into November, don’t forget about local workshops, dance classes, and the build-up to holiday pop-ups like the Shop Small Holiday Makers Market at Bellingham Cruise Terminal. There’s always something on the horizon, from book signings to pickl

  • Daylight Savings, Jazz Brunch, Salsa Dance, and More in Bellingham's Vibrant Sunday Scene
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.
    As you wake up this morning, don’t forget we’ve officially set our clocks back an hour as daylight saving time ends. That means the sun will be setting earlier, making these Pacific Northwest evenings arrive in a hurry. With darker afternoons, the city is reminding everyone to take extra care on the roads—whether you’re walking, cycling, or behind the wheel—and stay alert for more active wildlife at dusk and dawn. And with all this time shifting, it’s a perfect moment to check those smoke detectors, ensuring your home stays safe as the nights get longer.
    On to what’s happening around town today. Early risers can enjoy a local favorite, the Sunday Jazz Brunch at Hotel Leo running until two this afternoon. Treat yourself to good food and live jazz to keep that fall energy going. If you’re ready to start your Sunday with a little movement, salsa dance classes kick off at the Majestic Ballroom at five thirty, welcoming every skill level and guaranteed to bring some rhythm to your evening. Or, if you’re in the mood for music of a different sort, Aslan Brewing Company hosts their weekly open mic night from seven to ten p.m., where you can catch local talent or maybe take the stage yourself.
    Nature fans, today brings another opportunity to help plant a future forest for wildlife at the Whatcom Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, where community hands are joining together to make our corner of the world a little greener and safer for native critters. That’s especially timely, as Larrabee State Park rangers remind visitors to stay alert on trails after the sighting of a bobcat mom and her kittens. If you head that way, keep pets leashed and maintain respectful distance from wildlife—we share these beautiful spaces with an incredible variety of animal neighbors.
    Families looking for kid-friendly ideas, make sure to check out the local event calendars, with options ranging from outdoor playdates to art exhibits scattered across the city. And for those seeking creative inspiration or community, the Before I Die Festival continues today, inviting Bellingham residents of all ages to reflect, connect, and celebrate life in meaningful ways.
    On the civic front, Western Washington University remains a beacon of support for students of all backgrounds amid national debates over transgender rights. Campus leaders and student groups are doubling down on policies that foster inclusion, making sure every student feels safe and valued—something that extends beyond university walls into the broader Bellingham community.
    Just outside our region, the atmospheric river sweeping western Washington has caused some minor flooding in King County’s Snoqualmie Basin, but here in Bellingham, it’s mostly brought classic Northwest drizzle—a good reminder to keep your rain boots handy for weekend errands or your trip down to the farmers or artisan markets.

  • "Blustery Saturday in Bellingham: Events, Sports, and Community News"
    Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, November 1st, 2025.
    The first weekend of November is here and Bellingham is abuzz with events and important local developments. If you’re heading outside today, brace yourself for some blustery conditions. There’s a wind advisory in effect for Northern Washington, with gusts reaching up to 45 miles an hour. It’s a good day to secure those patio chairs and keep travel plans flexible, especially if you’re headed to the coast.
    Let’s kick off with ways to fill your Saturday. The Bellingham Dockside Market at Squalicum Harbor and the always lively Farmers Market at Depot Market Square both open at 10. Families and foodies can meet new vendors, pick up fresh local produce, and enjoy the fall air. Art lovers can wander over to the Whatcom Art Center for Bellingham Illuminations, a unique daytime light exhibit running from eleven to six, or catch Joe Reno’s new paintings at the Meloy Gallery on Holly Street.
    This afternoon, those craving outdoor adventure can join a naturalist hike at Stimpson Family Nature Preserve, exploring the incredible world of trees, mushrooms, and ferns from one to four thirty. Community-driven folks are out early at Happy Valley Park for a volunteer work party, focused on keeping the park’s trails and green spaces beautiful. And if you’re feeling playful, drop in to the improv class at The Upfront Theatre at noon—no experience needed.
    For a fun and slightly spooky twist, the Fairhaven Ghost Tour sets off from Sycamore Square tonight, blending Bellingham’s historic tales with a Halloween hangover. And for those craving more performance, Mount Baker Theatre is hosting Kulshan Chorus Presents: Beyond the Veil tonight, promising a harmony-filled evening, or if you want to end your night with a jolt, The MegaZapper Show at the SPARK Museum lets you experience the thrill of high-voltage science in action.
    For sports fans, catch the Bellingham volleyball squad taking on Sehome at noon at Sehome High, or cheer on the WWU hockey team facing Idaho at the Bellingham Sportsplex this evening. Stones Throw Brewery keeps the rhythm going with live music from six to eight, while Zuanich Point Park is hosting a family friendly Sunset Silent Disco to dance as the daylight fades.
    On a more serious note, today marks the end of federal SNAP food assistance for nearly a million Washington residents due to the ongoing government shutdown. The state is stepping up emergency support for food banks, but local pantries including the Bellingham Food Bank are bracing for longer lines and higher demand. If you or someone you know needs help, resources and hours can be found at the Bellingham Food Bank or by using Washington 211. Community members are encouraged to consider donating or volunteering if able, as the ripple effects of this change will be felt across our neighborhoods.
    In civic news, a jury has awarded a $2.25 million verdict against the City of Bellingham, citing negligen
