Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, March 13, 2025.

We're starting off with some exciting news for the Lummi Nation. They'll be celebrating their recent state basketball championship with a community parade today. It's a great opportunity to come out and show your support for these talented athletes.

In weather news, parts of Whatcom County are experiencing a late-winter snowfall. Areas like Deming, Maple Falls, and the Mount Baker Ski Area are expected to receive between 3 to 11 inches of snow. If you're heading to those areas, make sure to check road conditions and drive safely.

For those looking to get involved in local governance, the Community Development Advisory Board is meeting tonight from 6 to 8 PM. This is a great chance to have your voice heard on community development issues.

In transportation news, there's been a noticeable reduction in train horn noise in Bellingham's "quiet zone." This change comes after nearly 20 years of planning and safety upgrades. It's a welcome development for residents living near the tracks.

Looking ahead to the weekend, don't forget about the 15th annual Bellingham St. Patrick's Day Parade scheduled for Saturday, March 16th. The parade is held in honor of the Bellingham Police and Fire Departments, so it's a great way to show appreciation for our local first responders.

For those interested in local history and architecture, the YWCA Bellingham is hosting a Sneak Peek Housewarming Party at their new shelter today. It's an opportunity to see the new facility and learn about the important work they do in our community.

In health news, Whatcom Health reports a high peak in flu cases. There have been seven influenza deaths in Whatcom County this season as of February 15th. Remember to take precautions and get your flu shot if you haven't already.

For our senior community members, there's a Senior's Bible Study and Lunch happening today at 10:30 AM at Christ the King Community Church. It's a great opportunity for fellowship and spiritual growth.

Lastly, a reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend. Don't forget to "spring forward" and set your clocks ahead one hour on Sunday.

This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
