Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 6. Another beautiful day here in Bellingham and we have plenty happening to keep you informed and inspired as you head out and about.First up, a quick reminder that tonight there’s a Bellingham Parks and Recreation open house at the Bellingham High School Commons from five thirty to seven thirty. The city wants to hear your thoughts on parks, trails, and recreation priorities, so if you have ideas, this is your chance to shape your community. Plus, it’s a great moment to connect with neighbors and city planners in a relaxed setting.If you want to get some fresh air and have some fun with the family, there are several outdoor options. The Marine Life Center at the harbor is open daily and free to visit—it’s an awesome spot for getting to know local marine species and seeing what’s under the Salish Sea’s surface. If you’ve got little ones, don’t miss out on spray parks around the county, which run all day and are the perfect spot for cooling off if we get another sunny streak.For families and kids, the Arne Hanna Aquatic Center offers preschool and family swim times, and the LEGO Club meets this afternoon at the South Whatcom Library—drop in for some free creative building. Meanwhile, Village Books is keeping the summer storytime tradition going with a free story session at eleven o’clock, so be sure to check that out if you have tiny readers in tow.Tonight also brings Tuesday Tunes, a free community music series running from six to eight—so grab your blankets, your friends, and enjoy an evening of local sounds in the open air. Prefer something indoors? The bowling alleys are open all day, and PlayDate BLI has open play for kids.Looking ahead, mark your calendar for tomorrow evening’s Game Night at the Bellingham Queer Collective Center. If you’re a tabletop or card game enthusiast, the event runs from six to eight thirty and is a welcoming, all-ages way to meet new friends and have a bit of healthy competition.Transportation note for planners: starting tomorrow, Whatcom Transportation Authority brings back Free Fare Days for all local bus routes through August sixteenth. That means zero fares countywide, making it the ideal time to leave the car behind whether you’re running errands or heading to summer events.And speaking of events, downtown buzz is building for later this month, with the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra and Pickford Film Center’s Sunset Flicks—an outdoor silent film and live music extravaganza on Bay Street on August twenty-second. Summer is definitely not slowing down here in Bellingham, so keep those calendars handy.That’s all for today. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
