Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, January 7th.

Folks, kick off your day with a heads up on this wild winter weather rolling through our neck of the woods. A major storm system is dumping two to four feet of snow on the Cascade mountains through the next few days, with snow levels dropping as low as fifteen hundred feet by tomorrow and possibly below a thousand on Thursday. That means lowland areas like our foothills and valleys could see sleet or slush flakes, especially around Bellingham. Gusty winds up to forty-five miles per hour are whipping through today, with a Wind Advisory in effect right here and spots like north Whidbey. Showers are soaking the morning commute, so bundle up, watch for downed lines, and give mountain passes extra time if youre heading out. This is classic Pacific Northwest January, reminding us to check on neighbors and prep those emergency kits it could mean power blips but also fresh powder for skiers willing to brave it.

Shifting to city hall, the Bellingham City Council made some big moves Monday night thatll shape how we all connect with our leaders. They unanimously picked Hannah Stone as council president for 2026, with Holly Huthman stepping in as president pro tempore and Skip Williams as mayor pro tempore. Familiar faces like Huthman, Williams, Jace Cotton, and Michael Lilliquist are back after November reelections. Councilmember Cotton sparked talk of trimming public comment from three to two minutes per speaker to hear more voices, plus adding issue-specific town halls. Most backed it, though Lisa Anderson worried it might rush folks less comfy at the mic. They tabled it for their retreat, so your input could sway things stay tuned.

On a quirkier note, the citys probing a staffer who tapped ChatGPT last year to tweak a utility billing software bid, aiming to sideline rivals and favor VertexOne in a two-point-seven million dollar deal. Mayor Kim Lunds launching an independent fact-finding, stressing fair play no AI shortcuts allowed. It underscores how techs creeping into our decisions, but safeguards are kicking in.

Basketball fans, catch Everett Community Colleges mens and womens teams battling Whatcom CC today tip-offs around evening at the campus gym. Perfect indoor escape from the storm.
