Parking Changes, Library Events, and Weather Advisories: Bellingham Local Update
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Tuesday, January 28, 2025. We're here to bring you the latest updates and happenings in our vibrant community.
First off, let's talk about some significant changes coming to our city's parking regulations. As of today, an interim ordinance eliminating minimum parking requirements in Bellingham goes into effect. This move, approved by the City Council, aims to address the urgent need for more housing by allowing developers to use land more efficiently. Council President Hollie Huthman noted that prioritizing housing over parking just makes sense given the current state of housing availability and affordability in Bellingham[3].
In other news, the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office has issued a statement clarifying that they will not take enforcement action based on immigration-related statuses. This stance underscores the importance of community trust and safety for all residents.
On a lighter note, the Bellingham Public Library is bustling with activities for all ages. Today, you can join the Bellingham Reads Book Group at noon in the Lecture Room of the Central Library to discuss "Master Slave Husband Wife" by Ilyon Woo. If you prefer an online session, there's one scheduled for 6:30 p.m. tonight. Don't forget to register for the online meeting to receive the Zoom link[2].
For families, the library offers a variety of engaging programs. The Builders Club at the Central Library is a great place for kids aged 4-12 to unleash their creativity with Legos, straw connectors, and more. Meanwhile, the Early Learning Center at the Bellis Fair Branch hosts bilingual storytime sessions, offering fun stories and songs in both Spanish and English.
If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the Friends of the Library January Book Sale is wrapping up today, but you can still catch some great deals on books, DVDs, and more. Plus, the library's SkillShare Space is always open for hands-on activities like weaving and home item repair.
In local law enforcement news, the Everson Police have debunked claims of a shooting, clarifying that officers responded to a medical emergency call. Additionally, a 20-year-old has been charged with vehicular homicide following a fatal I-5 crash that occurred during a racing incident.
Lastly, don't forget about the cold weather advisory issued for Whatcom County due to the risk of frostbite and hypothermia. Stay warm and safe out there!
