概要

 Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, January 26th. Kick off your week with the buzz around town, where community spirit meets pressing local stories that matter to us all.

First up, a big environmental showdown is brewing at the AltaGas terminal in Ferndale. Community advocates Eva Schulte and Carl Weimer are sounding the alarm in todays Salish Current, calling out the Canadian company for sneaky expansions without proper permits, dodging county moratoriums meant to curb fossil fuel growth at Cherry Point. From 2016 to 2021, they slipped in 31 unpermitted projects, ballooning propane shipments from 3,000 to potentially 76,000 barrels a day, all while underreporting toxic emissions by over 443 tons and getting slapped with a 4 million dollar fine. This ramps up risks of explosions from that old single-walled tank, ship traffic jamming the Salish Sea, underwater noise harming herring and whales, and pollution hitting our air and water. The cherry on top? No full Environmental Impact Statement, despite county promises. Todays hearing on January 28th could greenlight it all, so if youre passionate about protecting our coast and endangered species, show up or speak out, because this directly threatens workers, fishers, and everyone who loves our marine backyard.[1]

Shifting gears to shakier news, a light 2.7 magnitude earthquake rattled 7.6 miles southwest of Anacortes last night around 8pm. No damage reported, but it reminds us were in quake country, so keep those emergency kits handy, folks.[5]

Now, for the fun stuff to shake off the winter blues. Tonight, head to GangBall from 4 to 6pm at Bloedel Donovan Community Building for some active community vibes, or join Good Neighbor Night at Stones Throw Brewery starting at 5pm, where the WWU Ecological Restoration Club hosts, tying right into our eco chats. Puzzle fans, Missing Piece Mondays run all day there too. Trivia lovers, dont miss Monday Trivia at Zeeks with Fountain Brewing from 6 to 8pm, a weekly brain-buster with pizza and brews. Cap it with Open Mic at Village Books at 6pm, hosted by Sean Dwyer, perfect for sharing your talents.[2][4][7]

Looking ahead, catch live music at Stones Throw Wednesday, or dive into backcountry meetups and cat cafe specials later in the week. The Bellingham Folk Festival just wrapped with jams downtown, leaving echoes of great tunes.[6]

Stay connected to what shapes our home, because informed neighbors make Bellingham thrive. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
