概要

 Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday February 4th. Start your day with the pulse of Whatcom County, where were wrapping up a wild week of weather woes and community comebacks.

First, a heads up for drivers: that Guide Meridian in Lynden is turning into a trouble spot, with another semi-truck and trailer blocking all lanes in a crash yesterday, echoing a similar mess from just days before. Southbound I-5 in Ferndale got snarly too from a wreck where a car wedged under a semis trailer, but lanes are clear now. Mt Baker Highway faces a full five-day closure soon for culvert repairs and repaving, so plan alternate routes if youre heading that way. And the Haxton Way motorcycle fatality with an SUV is still under investigation, reminding us to double-check those intersections.

On a brighter note, the air quality burn ban in Kendall is lifted, though folks are wise to ease up on indoor wood fires anyway. Power flickered out for nearly two thousand in Bellingham Monday afternoon, but crews got it sorted quick. Severe weather shelters stayed open through the weekend in Bellingham and Ferndale as temps dipped into the twenties, a lifeline for those battling the cold snap.

Schools are buzzing with February events across Whatcom County districts, from student performances to rallies, though Ferndale Police clarified no major issues from Fridays protest march despite some objects tossed at cars. Bellingham Public Schools leaders are pushing hard for fixes to Washingtons funding mess, saying its leaving kids shortchanged in a letter that hit the presses this week. Meanwhile, the North Cascades Bluegrass Festival is hanging up its strings after a 35 percent ticket drop last year, a tough loss for music lovers dreaming of those mountain jams.

Community heroes at the Alternative Response Team handled over twenty-four hundred calls in 2025, de-escalating crises and linking folks to housing and mental health help, proving non-police responses are making real waves. After recent floods battered properties, Whatcom Countys Assessors Office is prioritizing inspections in central Bellingham, Sudden Valley, and FEMA flood zones for 2026 tax reliefsubmit that Destroyed Property Form if your place took a hit outside those spots.

A few cautions: a Bellingham man sits on a hundred thousand dollar bond after a DUI smash into a stopped car, and a local home care aides credential got yanked for exploiting a vulnerable adult. Keep eyes peeled for that missing person last seen January 16th around noon.

Whether youre dodging roadblocks or chasing school shows, Bellinghams got that resilient spirit. Tune in for more on local events to fill your week.

This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
