概要

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, March 25.

Start your day with a heads up on those traffic headaches hitting our roads hard. A massive mudslide dumped thousands of cubic yards of debris on northbound I-5 between North Lake Samish and Old Fairhaven Parkway, shutting down all lanes since Thursday. No reopening timeline yet, but WSDOT crews are racing around the clock to clear it and stabilize the hill. That means detours flooding Samish Way, backing up Bill McDonald Parkway, and even ripple delays on other local spots. Mayor Kim Lund is asking for patience, noting our streets just cant handle 50,000 extra cars daily, especially semis—those big rigs should head for Cook Road to Highway 9 instead. Whatcom County Sheriffs are boosting patrols on detours to curb speeding, so drive safe and smart out there; it keeps us all moving.

Downtown, the city council just greenlit a bold move against crime with alleyway closures. In a unanimous 6-0 vote Monday, they okayed fences on key spots requested by police chief, targeting open-air drug dealing thats plagued the area for years. Mayor Lund stresses its not about unhoused folks or addicts but shutting down the epicenter of illicit sales where newcomers first try harmful stuff. Council Chair Holly Huthman calls it a temporary Band-Aid experiment with modest gains, backed by Seattles similar policy. Violators face up to $1,000 fines or 90 days in jail, so respect the barriers as crews install them—this could make our core safer for everyone strolling or shopping.

For fun today, families have a playground of options. Kick off at the Whatcom Museum's Artists Corner from 10am to 4:30pm, diving into Oakland artist David Huffmans basketball-inspired abstracts—think bold colors and shapes in the Family Interactive Gallery, perfect for kids layering textures like a slam dunk. Public ice skating rolls at Bellingham Sportsplex till 11:45am, or hit Sportsplex Play Day from 10am. Storytimes abound: Little ones at Bellis Fair Library branches all morning, Deming and South Whatcom at 10:30am, even preschool tales at the mall at noon. Swimmers, Arne Hanna Aquatic Center has preschool sessions mornings and family time at 1:30pm. Builders Club crafts from 3pm at Fairhaven Library, and Spanish stories and songs at 4pm downtown. Bowling at Mt. Baker Lanes or Park Bowl anytime, plus Open Track Night evening. WWU sports fans, mens basketball Elite Eight action today in Pittsburgh.

Poets, entries for the 21st Sue C. Boynton contest close end of month—submit to see your words on library placards and buses come May.

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