First up, a quick reminder that City offices, as well as the Bellingham Public Library and Arne Hanna Aquatic Center, are closed today in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. Essential public safety services remain available, but if you were planning on running city errands, you might want to reschedule for tomorrow. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and is a day for reflection and celebration. Look out for community events throughout the week, including those organized by WWU and local advocacy groups honoring Black history and resilience. While City Hall’s big flag raising was held earlier this week, there’s still plenty of opportunity to join in local conversations and gatherings commemorating this important day.
For families itching to get outside, today marks another perfect opportunity to visit Bellingham’s spray parks—now officially open for the summer season. Cornwall Memorial Park, Cordata Park, and Fairhaven Park all have their fountains running daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. through mid-September. It’s the ultimate spot for kids to cool off, make new friends, and celebrate the start of summer break. Grab a picnic and make a day of it; with the city’s fresh, clean water in the sprays, everyone is guaranteed to stay refreshed and safe.
Art lovers and strollers downtown will notice some bright changes—new sculptures have been installed as part of the city’s rotating public art program. This is a great time to explore the evolving local arts scene, maybe snap a few photos, and check out the vibrant businesses nearby.
In local government news, the Port of Bellingham is considering expanding its commission from three to five members, a move that could reshape how major decisions are made for the waterfront and our city’s economic future. This comes as Bellingham continues to grow and diversify, and residents may want to tune in or share their thoughts with Port officials as the decision approaches.
A quick heads-up for those doing some summer household cleaning: the Whatcom County Disposal of Toxics facility will be closed later this month, so plan ahead for any hazardous waste drop-offs.
That’s a wrap on your Thursday morning round-up. Whether you’re joining in Juneteenth activities, heading to a spray park, or simply soaking up the creative energy downtown, Bellingham is buzzing with possibilities. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
