Local Frequency - Boulder

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, January 31st.

Boulder is buzzing today with a mix of heartfelt activism, outdoor tributes, and sunny weekend vibes that remind us why we love calling this place home. Faith leaders from our local churches, including Rev. David Schwartz of the Unitarian Universalist Church, are at the forefront of national protests against ICE actions, fresh off solidarity walks here and in Minneapolis. Theyre standing up for immigrant communities amid rising tensions, with events underscoring a moral call to action that hits close to home—especially after tragedies like the shooting of protester Alex Pretti, whose Colorado ties have many reflecting on justice and safety for all neighbors. Keep an eye on todays schedule: a memorial bike ride led by cycling star Ryan Duzer kicks off at noon from North Boulder Park, honoring Pretti with wheels spinning in unity. Right after, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Broadway and Canyon, join the ICE Out protest to amplify those voices. And tomorrow, lace up for the five-mile F ICE group run at 9 a.m. from Broadway and Maxwell, guided by physical therapist Cait Alexander—turning outrage into movement that strengthens our community bonds.

Meanwhile, local businesses are still reeling from Xcels December power shutoffs that left two-thirds of us in the dark, sparking urgent calls for compensation at state hearings this week. City leaders and owners alike are pushing back, highlighting real losses from spoiled goods to halted operations, though Xcel says advance notices might nix claims— a reminder of how utility decisions ripple into our daily hustles. On a brighter note, Boulder's office market is resetting with high vacancies at 23 percent countywide and nearly 29 percent downtown, as hybrid work lingers; landlords are slashing rents to lure small tenants back, and city incentives could spark the rebound we need for vibrant Pearl Street energy.

Weather-wise, BoulderCAST predicts a sneaky cold front tonight with possible light flurries and lows around 23, but dont sweat it—downslope winds usher in mid-50s highs tomorrow under plenty of sun, climbing near 60 by Monday for that classic Rocky Mountain tease. BVSD powered through teacher callouts yesterday tied to protests, keeping schools open while excusing family absences, showing resilience amid the national shutdown wave.

For fun today, catch Fitz and the Tantrums rocking Boulder Theater at 8 p.m. for infectious indie soul, or Josh Teed with his crew at the Fox Theatre same time for electronic beats thatll get you moving. CU Boulders Program Council hosts a magic show with John Rotellini at 7:30 p.m., perfect for family wonder. Dance lovers, Avalon Sodal Hall offers OneBody Dance Journey from 10:30 a.m. to noon, blending personal flow with group energy. And dont miss the Sip-erior Beer Fest at noon in Superior for craft pours and good cheers.

First, a sobering reminder of natures fury just a few days ago on Monday, when high winds turned a small porch fire in Allenspark into a raging inferno on State Highway 7. Thanks to quick action from Boulder County Sheriffs, Allenspark Fire, Lefthand Fire, and teams from Estes Park, the family and pets escaped unharmed, though the house was lost. Spot fires popped up nearby, but firefighters shuttled water in to knock them down fast. Investigations continue, underscoring how those gusty winds we all felt can change everything in seconds, keeping our rural neighbors on high alert.

Shifting to brighter horizons, Boulders cultural scene is buzzing tonight.

But lets talk wallets: Boulder County property tax bills for 2026 are landing now, with some jumping up to 40 percent after last years relief expired. Assessor Cindy Braddock notes even stable home values might sting, hitting manufactured home owners hardest, so check yours and explore deferral options for seniors and military by calling the treasurers office.

In national echoes, the family of the Boulder terror attack suspect from last summer remains detained in Texas, decrying inhumane conditions amid their asylum bid, a stark reminder of how global tensions ripple into our backyard.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, January 26th.

We're starting the week with some brisk winter weather across the Front Range.

Now, turning to local development, Presbyterian Manor here in Boulder is planning a significant expansion. The organization is proposing a new three story building with about sixty units of affordable senior housing right next to their existing eleven story tower on Arapahoe Avenue. The plan includes covered parking and would serve low income seniors earning no more than sixty percent of Boulder's area median income. However, the project has hit a bump in the road with Boulder's Landmarks Board, as four Craftsman era houses from the nineteen twenties that currently sit on the property may be historically significant. The board is exploring alternatives to demolition while balancing the real and pressing need for more affordable senior housing in our community.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, January twenty-first.

We start with an exciting finish in men's basketball as the number nineteen Kansas Jayhawks escaped Boulder last night with a seventy-five to sixty-nine victory over Colorado. Acting head coach Jacque Vaughn stepped in for Bill Self, who was hospitalized Monday but has since been released after receiving IV fluids. Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. was the star of the show, finishing with a team-high eighteen points and seven rebounds. But it was a controversial late-game sequence that may have decided the contest. With the Jayhawks clinging to a one-point lead, Council stole an inbounds pass that Colorado argued came when he was out of bounds. The officials let it stand, and Council converted the layup into another bucket moments later, sparking a run that put the game out of reach. Colorado head coach Tad Boyle called it the deciding factor, noting his team struggled in transition while Kansas capitalized on their opportunities. The loss drops the Buffaloes to two and four in Big Twelve play. They'll look to bounce back Saturday afternoon when they host UCF.

First, a serious note from yesterday: a shooting in nearby Adams County left a sheriff's deputy and another person injured near 74th and Broadway, with police activity spilling onto US 36 close to home. The sheriff's office urges caution if you're heading that way, as investigations continue—stay safe out there, Boulder.[1] Meanwhile, those fierce winds battering northern Colorado prompted Xcel Energy to issue public safety power shutoffs yesterday, affecting thousands in Larimer and Weld counties to prevent wildfires like the Marshall fire that scarred us back in 2021. Gusts hit 65 mph under a red flag warning, knocking out power for nearly 7,000 homes at one point, with some schools closed. Winds are easing today, but check Xcel's outage map if you're planning trips north—it's a reminder how our mountain weather keeps us on our toes.[5]

The Buffs are hungry to even the season score against these ranked foes.[3]
