  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Friday, February 21, 2025. We're here to bring you the latest updates and happenings in our vibrant community.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. After a 12-day stretch of dry and cold weather, forecasters are predicting a return to warmer temperatures and rain. This is great news for those who have been dealing with the recent snow event and sub-freezing temperatures that led to several school closures and delays throughout the week.

    In local news, the Washington Supreme Court justices are set to visit Western Washington University, where they will answer questions from the public and hear arguments in two appellate cases. This is a fantastic opportunity for our community to engage with the highest court in the state and learn more about the judicial process.

    For those interested in learning new skills or exploring their creative side, the Bellingham Public Library has a plethora of programs and events lined up for February. From Basic Computer Skills classes to Learning Together Forums focusing on sustainability, and even a Correspondence Club where you can create your own mail art, there's something for everyone. Don't forget to check out the Builders Club at the Fairhaven Library Branch, where kids can unleash their inner builder with Legos and other materials.

    In other news, the WSDOT is deploying speed enforcement cameras in work zones. While there's no fine for the first infraction, subsequent violations will incur a $248 fine. This initiative aims to enhance safety for both workers and drivers.

    On a more serious note, a recent dump truck crash off Hannegan Road resulted in damage to 10 parked vehicles. Fortunately, neither speed nor alcohol were involved in the incident.

    Looking ahead, the Bellingham Public Library will be discussing this year's Whatcom READS selection, "No Two Persons" by Erica Bauermeister, in their book discussion group for adults. You can join in-person or online, so mark your calendars for February 25.

    Lastly, if you're planning to venture out, be aware that the Guide Meridian (SR539) was recently closed due to a law enforcement incident that began as a traffic stop and evolved into a call for emergency medical services.

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