Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, September 29th, 2025.It is a cool and classic fall day here in Bellingham, and there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy it. Let’s begin with the news that’s shaping our city. Yesterday evening, a serious crash closed Mountain View Road in Ferndale, so if you’re commuting that way, check for detours and plan ahead. Good news if you plan to visit Ferndale City Hall—it’s reopening today after being closed for water damage, so city services should be back on schedule. Power outages have been impacting parts of Whatcom County, particularly around Lynden and Everson, but crews are working to restore service as quickly as possible. If you’re seeing unusual air traffic, that mysterious Goodyear Blimp seen above western Whatcom County yesterday was just making a pass from Arlington, so nothing to worry about there.On a more somber note, law enforcement officials have warned of a recent bear sighting around Sumas. If you’re headed out for a hike or some early autumn leaf peeping, keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Meanwhile, a local healthcare provider has had their credentials revoked and can no longer work with vulnerable community members, and in Bellingham, the city has won a legal judgment related to a problematic encampment downtown, confirming the city isn’t responsible for toxic waste cleanup on private property.For those looking to get out and do something fun today, the Harvest Festival is in full swing at BelleWood Farms with family activities running until late afternoon. The Whatcom Family YMCA’s pools are open from early morning until close tonight, so if you want to get some laps in or just splash around, there’s space for everyone. The Marine Life Center downtown is open with free admission, offering a great look at some Puget Sound critters, and kids can play long hours at PlayDate BLI, which runs open play sessions all day long.If you’re more of a bookworm or have kids eager to learn, head to the Bellingham Public Library for Little Storytime mid-morning, or jump in for the free Library Explorers activity in the afternoon. The Arne Hanna Aquatic Center is hosting swim sessions throughout the day, and for older kids and teens, check out the teen craft hour at the Lynden Library this afternoon, or LEGO Club for something hands-on and creative.For sports fans, the Western Washington Invitational kicks off today at the Bellingham Golf and Country Club. The event features top collegiate golfers from around the region and is a great excuse to take in some fresh air while watching high-level competition.Those wanting community connection will find several events hosted by the Bellingham Queer Collective this week, including Fun Fridays at their center, drop-in crafts at Northwest Yarns, and support meetings for queer elders and those new to the city. Looking ahead, mark your calendar for the upcoming Bellingham Erotic Ball and a special drag variety show at the historic Hotel Leo in October.For the latest on local happenings, traffic, and weather, keep tuned in.
