概要
We're starting the day with some important developments in the community. A significant murder trial is underway in Whatcom County Superior Court involving Bellingham resident Lynda Mercy, who faces second-degree murder charges in connection with the death of Thomas Flood, a 67-year-old man from Langley. Flood's body was discovered on Semiahmoo Spit back in April 2021. Opening arguments began Monday, and prosecutors say evidence will show Flood was shot in his van where he slept before being transported to the spit. The defense is challenging the circumstantial nature of the evidence presented. This case marks a significant moment for our region, as it was the first homicide discovered within Blaine city limits in 39 years when the crime was initially reported.
In other local news, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson has requested 21 million dollars in federal assistance from the Trump administration to help flood victims across the state recover from last month's historic flooding. The state is seeking help for individuals to repair homes and find stable housing. The Department of Transportation reports at least 40 to 50 million dollars in damage to state highways, with U.S. Route 2 particularly hard hit. The flooding displaced over 100,000 residents and damaged nearly 4,000 homes, though fortunately only one person died.
On the education front, the Bellingham Public Schools Board of Directors has adopted a new resolution urging the state legislature to fix school funding problems. The board argues that Washington's constitution makes the state responsible for adequately funding public schools, but outdated formulas have forced local communities to carry too much of the burden through property tax levies. The board says Bellingham deserves a funding system that reflects the real costs of operating schools in 2026, not outdated formulas from 2018.
As we head into the evening, there's plenty to do around town. Trivia night is happening at Stones Throw Brewery from 7 to 9 p.m., and if you're in the mood for live music, Fountain Brewing and Zeeks Pizza will have live performances from 7 to 9 p.m. as well. For culture lovers, there's the Caitlin Canty Album Release Tour at New Prospect Theatre at 8 p.m. Saturday brings a Candlelight concert featuring Vivaldi's Four Seasons and More at Hotel Bellwether at 8:30 p.m.
This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
