First, if you are an art lover or just curious about local creativity, today is your last chance this weekend to catch the renowned Whatcom Artist Studio Tour. Dozens of artists are opening their doors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., giving you an inside look at everything from painting and glasswork to sculpture and fiber art. You can map your route, meet the makers, and even take home original pieces. If you want a taste before heading out, swing by the Dakota Art Gallery on Cornwall Avenue for their group show, featuring highlights from this year’s tour. These tours are not just about art—they are about community, storytelling, and discovering hidden gems across Whatcom County.Nature lovers, take note: the Wild Mushroom Foray with Northwest Natura runs this afternoon from 1 to 4:30. If you are looking to learn about wild edibles or simply enjoy a stroll with knowledgeable foragers, this guided walk is a Pacific Northwest autumn classic. Spots for this event can go quickly, so consider checking details before heading out. Over in the city, fans of unique experiences can dive into The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Experience happening today. This immersive, puzzle-based event weaves the magic of Oz all around Bellingham, making it a fun option for all ages to explore our favorite emerald city in a whole new way.For those seeking community and support, the Bellingham Queer Collective hosts Chronic and Iconic this afternoon from 3 to 5 at the BQC Center, both in-person and online.

After some dramatic scenes involving a police chase tracked by smartphone, safety concerns remain top of mind. Meanwhile, debris on I-5 and recent rollover crashes in Ferndale created traffic headaches, so commuters should drive carefully heading into the week. On a positive note, county officials have lifted outdoor burning restrictions, just remember: even though fire risk is lower, dry vegetation from our extended summer still calls for caution when burning. If you’re a boater, the Division of Emergency Management reminds everyone to double-check their mooring lines due to forecasted windy conditions.Finally, a national note with local impact: a Listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat pasta meals has been reported—check your fridge and stay tuned for updates if you shop local or receive meal kits.
