Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, August 24, 2025.If you’re waking up in Bellingham today, the city is buzzing with activity and a few significant headlines. Let’s start with what’s new—Bellingham’s very first standalone CVS is now open on 36th Street, marking a milestone for local retail and bringing more convenience to neighbors in the area. This means fresh accessibility for health services and everyday essentials just a walk or short drive away. Over in Whatcom County, emergency management teams are monitoring local intersections and construction zones. Some road closures and continued bridge repairs could impact your commutes, so plan ahead as crews are making progress to improve safety and infrastructure for all residents.For those seeking community events and things to do, there’s no shortage of options. Cyclists are rolling through town today as the famous Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party makes its way north. You might spot groups of dedicated riders enjoying scenic routes tucked between mountain views and the Salish Sea; if you’re not riding, cheering them on is half the fun. Take note that increased bike traffic and support vehicles could slow things down for drivers in some neighborhoods.Families have loads of choices for fun. Wild Whatcom’s Wild Things nature program kicks off at 9:30 this morning, perfect for little explorers who love outdoor adventure. If you’re looking to beat the heat, area pools at the YMCA and Arne Hanna Aquatic Center are ready for swimmers, and the Marine Life Center is open all day for hands-on marine discovery.Today’s farmer’s market flavor comes with the Twin Sisters Mobile Market setting up shop in Birchwood from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fresh produce, local foods, and a vibrant community scene make it a great stop for your weekend grocery run.
