Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, August 25, 2025. Hope you're ready to kick off the week with a fresh scoop of local events, news, and things to do around our community.As students start trickling back into classrooms, the big headline for parents and kids today is the "Back to School" buzz, with registration, orientation, and supply runs in full swing across Bellingham area schools. If you’re near Birch Bay, remember to take part in the government services survey open through September 10 — your voice may shape decisions that impact residents for years.Turning to outdoor fun, if you’re itching to get outside after the weekend, tonight is the perfect opportunity with Kayak The Cove tours at Larrabee State Park and Whatcom Wake Sports' Men's Night on Lake Whatcom. These run weekly through September and October, so it’s a prime chance to try something new, get out on the water, and soak in late summer sunsets. Tomorrow brings the last chance for the History Sunset Cruise at the Bellingham Cruise & Ferry Terminal—learn about local legends with Kolbe LaBree while gliding along Bellingham Bay.Families looking for kid-friendly activities can find open swim at Arne Hanna Aquatic Center and play time at the Whatcom Family YMCA pools.

And for those needing some midweek inspiration, the Salty Social for Disability Pride is happening Wednesday at Community Boating Center, blending advocacy with fun on the water.On the news front, a hit-and-run driver was arrested after injuring a cyclist over the weekend, reminding residents to be extra cautious as summer activities heat up. Emergency repairs are scheduled for a highway bridge in Whatcom County, so plan extra travel time and check local advisories if you’re heading out toward the coast. And with the Powerball jackpot climbing to a whopping $750 million, local convenience stores are buzzing — maybe Bellingham will have a new millionaire before the week is out.Weekend festivals drew big crowds, with the StoneStock music and brew celebration filling Fairhaven with good vibes, while the Whatcom Humane Society wrapped up its Dog Days of Summer community festival, raising funds and awareness for furry friends in need.This has been Bellingham Local Frequency.
