  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, February 20, 2025.

    Let's start with some important updates from around town. If you're planning to drive through work zones, be aware that the Washington State Department of Transportation is deploying speed enforcement cameras. While there's no fine for the first infraction, subsequent violations will cost you $248 each[1].

    In other news, after a 12-day stretch of dry and cold weather, forecasters predict temperatures will rise above freezing, and rains will return to our area. This change in weather is a welcome relief for many residents who have been dealing with the recent cold snap[1].

    On a different note, an earthquake was detected approximately 40 miles southwest of Whatcom County, under the Strait of Juan de Fuca. While this might not have caused any immediate disruptions in Bellingham, it's a reminder of the seismic activity in our region[1].

    For those interested in legal matters, the Washington Supreme Court justices will be visiting Western Washington University to answer questions from the public and hear arguments in two appellate cases. This is a unique opportunity for residents to engage with the state's highest court[1].

    In local business news, a new online platform has been launched to provide an enhanced, digital-first experience for the business community in Whatcom County. This platform aims to offer comprehensive coverage of local business news and developments[1].

    If you're looking for something to do today, the Bellingham Public Library is hosting Salmon Storytimes for Kids. This event is part of the library's ongoing programs and is designed for children aged 3 to 10. It's a great way to learn about salmon and their life cycle[3][4].

    Additionally, the city has made significant progress on various infrastructure projects. The Meador Avenue bridge over Whatcom Creek has reopened, and work continues on the Meridian Sewer replacement project. There will be temporary restrictions on left turns at the intersection of Meridian Street and East Bellis Fair Parkway, so plan your route accordingly[3].

    For outdoor enthusiasts, the recent land purchase by the city paves the way for a new trail connection between Whatcom Falls Park and Lake Padden Park. This development supports goals related to protecting water quality, preserving tree canopy, and protecting wildlife habitat[3].

    Finally, if you're looking for more activities to enjoy in Bellingham, there are numerous events and markets happening around town. From craft markets to dinner events and performances, there's something for everyone to enjoy[2].

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