Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 17th.

A fresh fall breeze is drifting over the city, and as always, Bellingham has plenty happening today. The City Council just wrapped up a packed session this week, making significant changes to how temporary shelters operate in town. With their latest unanimous approval, the guidelines for these shelters no longer have a maximum capacity, aiming to better meet community needs as colder nights approach. The council also took a step closer to a decision on an area annexation near Squalicum High School. While the issue remains a bit contentious, the discussion has been punted to next year, opening the door for more community input. And keep an eye out for a coming vote on a small sales tax increase that would fund critical criminal justice services here in Bellingham; that final decision is expected before the October 17th deadline.

In area news, a bear sighting around Sumas has wildlife officials reminding everyone to stay extra alert on trails and in neighborhoods near the border. Out near Lynden and Everson, over 1,500 folks were temporarily out of power yesterday, though crews worked to restore service as quickly as possible. For those headed north or using I-5, watch for periodic closures around Ferndale where crews are repaving ramps—detours may cause delays throughout the week.

For our sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts, tonight brings Whatcom Wake Sports’ Women on Water session at Lake Whatcom from six to nine p.m., a perfect way to unwind and meet new folks if you love watersports. Looking ahead, the Bellingham Bay Marathon is this Sunday, promising to bring racers, cheer squads, and plenty of energy to downtown. And if mountain biking is your thing, consider signing up for Saturday’s Wilderness First Aid course on Galbraith Mountain—never a bad idea before your next trail adventure.

Looking for something indoors? Christ the King Community Church has meetings and events throughout the day—come by to connect or recharge midweek. Local venues are also ramping up for Celtic Fest Weekend at Hotel Leo, starting Friday and running through Sunday, with music, dance, and tastes of the British Isles.

Sehome High School students are back to their routine as well, with classes and football practice filling up the afternoon. And don’t forget to swing by the Bellingham Legion for two-dollar Wednesday specials, a long-running local tradition.

As always, stay tuned for late-breaking updates, and remember, everything we cover here connects directly to you—whether it's city policy shaping shelter, marathon routes closing downtown streets, or your favorite wakeboarding spot hosting new faces.

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