Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, September 25th, twenty twenty-five. As we kick off this crisp autumn day, let’s dive into the stories and happenings shaping our city.First, a milestone for Bellingham—our population has hit ninety-eight thousand three hundred forty, edging ever closer to that historic one hundred thousand mark. With growth comes energy and new ideas, fueling the changes around town, from revitalized neighborhoods to upgrades in public spaces.On the news front, the local pharmacy landscape is shifting. Rite Aid stores in nearby Lynden, Ferndale, and Blaine have been saved from closure and will soon rebrand as CVS Pharmacies, while Bellingham’s own Rite Aid isn’t so lucky and faces a shutdown. As other businesses face uncertainty—in no small part due to dwindling Canadian shoppers—local shop owners are feeling the pinch and hoping for a post-summer rebound.Meanwhile, I-5 commuters, plan ahead. There are nighttime closures this week for paving projects, which might throw a wrench into your late-evening travels. It’s also a reminder that fall brings its own set of traffic and construction headaches, but also new opportunities to explore close to home.If you’re out and about, there’s plenty to do today. Hit up the Chuckanut Bay Distillery for a tour and tasting, or swing by the Cordata Gallery for the Modern Meets Primitive exhibition before it wraps up this weekend. For those who want to dig a little deeper into our green city, the Whatcom Museum is hosting a workshop tonight on boosting biodiversity in your home garden, perfect for anyone looking to cultivate an insect-friendly habitat.In the mood for socializing and fun? Test your trivia chops at Stones Throw Brewery or Stemma West, or try your luck at Vinyl Music Bingo at the Larrabee Lager Company—all happening tonight. If dancing is more your style, swing by the Elks Lodge for Northwest Country Swing, or find your own rhythm at the Flow Fusion Dance at the Karate Church.Looking ahead, get ready for the ninth annual Bellingham SeaFeast this Saturday at Zuanich Park—a celebration of our maritime heritage with seafood, live entertainment, and family fun. Or catch the beloved Bellingham Farmers Market Saturday morning at Depot Market Square, a fall tradition for fresh produce and local crafts. And for night owls, Aslan After Hours continues its late-night music series Saturday, while The Upfront Theatre keeps the laughs rolling with comedy improv shows all weekend.Before we go, a quick note from public safety. After recent investigations and incidents in the broader county, local officials urge everyone to stay alert, report anything unusual, and take care of one another as our community grows.That wraps things up for today.

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
