Today kicks off an important opportunity for residents to connect with their elected officials as the Whatcom County Council launches a series of Community Conversation events. This afternoon, council members Barry Buchanan, Ben Elenbaas, and Jon Scanlon are inviting neighbors to join them at the Blaine Library from 2 to 4 p.m. and then at the Ferndale Library from 5 to 7. These relaxed gatherings are designed to give you a chance to ask questions, share your concerns, and offer your ideas for the county outside of the usual formal council setting. The council says more of these meetings will be scheduled in Bellingham later this year, so if you can’t make it today, keep an eye out for future dates. Events like these are a great way to make your voice heard and take an active role in shaping our community’s future.
In local development news, there’s movement in downtown Bellingham as Flatiron Dragados Constructors begins the demolition of a bank branch building. While this may cause some temporary disruption in the area, it’s part of ongoing efforts to revitalize the city and could pave the way for new opportunities and spaces in the heart of Bellingham.
Turning to public safety, Bellingham Police continue to keep busy with a range of calls and incidents. Over the weekend, a fire spread from one building to adjacent apartments, sending smoke across Interstate 5. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries, but it’s a good reminder to keep safety in mind as we enter the summer season and fire danger increases. In line with that, the Whatcom County burn ban went into effect June 15 and is expected to last through mid-September, so make sure you’re up to date on the latest rules before planning any outdoor burning.
On the activities front, the operational permit for Birch Bay Water Park has been reinstated after updates and changes following a past injury incident. Although some slides remain closed, the park is back open just in time for summer family fun. It’s a great option if you’re looking for ways to keep cool this week.
Traffic-wise, if your route takes you along Everson Goshen Road, be prepared for significant impacts over the next five weeks as crews grind, pave, and restripe the roadway. Plan extra time for your commute and look out for construction teams.
Finally, in the courts, a Lummi Nation man has been sentenced following a lengthy assault case, and the Whatcom Sheriff’s office is appealing for anyone who might have been affected by a recent fraud scheme to come forward.
That’s a wrap on your Tuesday morning news and community roundup. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
