概要

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, April 2nd.

We're starting this morning with important news from Bellingham Public Schools. Superintendent Dr. Greg Baker announced that the district will be cutting roughly 60 positions as it navigates declining enrollment and funding challenges from the state level. However, there's some good news for families concerned about school closures: elementary schools will remain open at least through 2027. The cuts will primarily affect counseling and library staff assignments, and some programs are being temporarily paused, including the beloved fifth grade mountain school trip. The district did pass an operations levy back in November, but state legislators have pulled back funding for programs like mental health support and early learning, which is driving these necessary adjustments.

On the transportation front, if you're planning to head north on Interstate 5, be aware that WSDOT has completed cliff scaling work near Bellingham, but there's still no timeline yet for when the highway will fully reopen. Crews finished that critical safety work yesterday, so stay tuned for updates as they continue their assessment.

For those looking to explore our local economy and culture, the Bellingham Farmers Market is making its return this April with plenty of fresh local goods and community connection. Speaking of April events, there's a pub crawl happening around town, so if you're looking for a fun evening out, that's one way to support our local businesses.

If you're into the arts, Bellingham Repertory Dance is celebrating 20 years of contemporary dance with a concert called Hindsight. It's a wonderful opportunity to see the vibrant history of local dance on stage.

And here's something unique: Whatcom County just debuted an AI holographic tour guide at the newly reopened Hovander Park. Yes, you'll be getting park information from an interactive Sasquatch. It's the kind of forward-thinking approach our community is known for.

For those looking for regular entertainment, Monday trivia nights are back at Fountain Brewing and Zeeks starting April 6th, running weekly through September. Twenty dollar pitchers during trivia make it a fun way to spend your Monday evenings.

One more thing to note: Allegiant Air will be closing its crew base at Bellingham International Airport in November, so if you're a frequent flyer, you may want to plan accordingly.

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