Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 30th, 2025.
Starting with an important update for everyone near the water, a tsunami advisory remains in effect for Bellingham and much of the Washington coast after an enormous 8.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia late last night. The forecast calls for minor waves, with the highest water expected in Bellingham just after 1 a.m. tonight rising less than a foot above the tide, but strong currents are possible in marinas, bays, and inlets. Officials are urging everyone to stay off beaches and away from the shoreline and harbor areas overnight. If you live or work by the water, take precautions and follow local advisories as the situation develops throughout the day and into the evening. Emergency crews are on watch and staying in close touch with state and county partners to keep the community informed and safe.
Now turning to happenings around town. Bellingham’s vibrant downtown is keeping summer spirits high. Tonight, Wonderz Market is hosting an evening of live music featuring three local bands, and it’s the perfect way to wind down your Wednesday. The event runs right in the heart of downtown as day turns to night, so grab your friends and come out to support local performers and artisans.
For families, Regal’s Summer Movie Express rolls on, offering one-dollar tickets to “The Garfield Movie” this morning.

Music lovers will be happy to know that Death Cab for Cutie, Bellingham’s own indie-rock legends, are celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their breakthrough album “Plans” with two concerts in Seattle this weekend.
