Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, November 29th, 2025.

We start this morning with a developing story that has national implications right here in our community. Federal prosecutors have announced they will seek the death penalty against 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a Bellingham resident accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. this week. One of the victims, 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, tragically died from her injuries Thursday evening. The other victim, 24-year-old Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, remains in critical condition fighting for his life. According to investigators, Lakanwal allegedly drove from our area across the country to carry out what authorities describe as a targeted ambush-style attack near the Farragut West Metro station on Wednesday afternoon.

Lakanwal came to the United States in 2021 through a Biden administration program that resettled Afghans after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan. He had worked with CIA-backed forces during the war and was granted asylum this past April under the Trump administration. Investigators say he was living here in Bellingham with his wife and five children before the shooting. They executed a search warrant at his home Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, recovering numerous electronic devices. His motive remains unclear as investigators continue their intensive probe into his background and any potential associates.

The incident has already prompted significant policy responses at the federal level. The Trump administration announced Friday it is halting all asylum decisions and pausing visa issuance for people traveling on Afghan passports. Officials are also reviewing all green cards issued to foreign nationals from nineteen countries deemed as concerns.

On a lighter note, there is plenty happening around Bellingham this weekend to get you out and about. The Mount Baker Theatre has performances lined up for this evening starting at seven thirty. Over at the Whatcom Museum, the Deck the Old City Hall holiday display is open through January, transforming Old City Hall into a festive wonderland with twinkling lights and decorations. Admission is by donation with all proceeds supporting museum programs. If you are looking for some laughs, Bellingham Buddies is happening this afternoon from eleven to four at a local venue featuring some edgy puppet entertainment for adults.

Whether you are exploring the arts, catching up on local happenings, or just taking time to appreciate our community, there is something for everyone today in Bellingham.

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