"Tsunami Advisories, Burn Bans, and Mural Festivals: Your Bellingham Local Roundup"
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, August 4th, 2025. Whether you’re waking up with a cup of coffee or heading out for the day, we’ve got your local stories and happenings right here.
Let’s start with the news that may shape your week. A tsunami advisory has been issued for US coastal regions after a strong 8.7 magnitude earthquake off Russia. Here in Whatcom County, officials say that if there is any tsunami impact, the earliest activity could begin around 1am this Wednesday. There’s no need for alarm at this time, but beachgoers and those near the waterfront are encouraged to stay tuned for official updates. Also, with a stretch of much warmer and breezier weather in the forecast, fire risk is on the rise and Stage 2 burn bans are now in effect across Whatcom County, Sandy Point, and Lummi Island. That means all outdoor burning is on hold, including those relaxing campfires and even beach bonfires, so plan accordingly for your evening outings and picnics. If haze or smoky skies seem more intense this week, you aren’t imagining it—potential wildfire smoke from other parts of the Northwest may drift over our area before westerly winds clear things out later in the week. This shift in the air quality might affect outdoor plans, so be mindful, especially if you’re sensitive to smoke.
There’s news for those heading up I-5: expect lane and ramp closures over the next week, mostly between 8pm and 5am, as crews tackle summer maintenance along ten miles in Whatcom County. If you’re commuting or heading to late night events, build in extra travel time. If you’re downtown, note that Cornwall Memorial Park is starting curbing repairs today. Dog lovers, you can still use the off leash area, but water access will be limited, so pack your own for your four-legged friends.
On the arts and culture front, circle your calendar for the Noisy Waters Mural Festival, coming to the waterfront’s Portal Container Village August 15th through 17th. It’s three full days of mural painting, music, and local food, capped by the exciting mural competition where one artist will win a $10,000 commission. You can even help choose the People’s Choice muralist, so come down to celebrate creativity. Looking for something more spontaneous this week? Dive into Bellingham’s events calendar with everything from live music and museum nights to the Opal Scavenger Hunt downtown and nighttime bioluminescence kayak tours on the bay, a favorite for both locals and out-of-towners.
And if you’re keeping tabs on the real estate market, June saw Bellingham home prices tick up slightly, even as countywide housing costs edged down—a dynamic worth watching if you’re planning a move or an investment.
That wraps up today’s blend of headlines and happenings. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
