Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for October 11, 2025. Let’s jump right into today’s stories and happenings, and remember—if you need more info, just reach out—we’re here for you.First, up in the mountains, the North Cascades are getting their first major snowfall of the season. The National Weather Service says we could see anywhere from three to six inches above five thousand feet, so if you’re heading out for a weekend hike or a scenic drive, make sure to pack for winter and check your tire chains. Meanwhile, down here in town, expect gusty winds up to thirty-five miles per hour along the coast—maybe keep an extra eye on your Halloween decorations and check the mooring lines if you’ve got boats in the harbor.On the roads, drivers should be alert as we’re still seeing some cleanup from incidents this week. The northbound lanes of I-5 in Ferndale were blocked after a serious injury rollover early this morning; crews are working to clear the scene but expect delays if you’re heading out that way this weekend. And a heads-up—debris was reported in the northbound lanes in Bellingham near the city center, so stay sharp for unexpected hazards, and always let us know if you spot something amiss.A quick food safety alert: If you’ve picked up anything on a stick—corn dogs, breakfast foods, you know the drill—check those labels. There’s a recall in effect for products from two companies that may contain wood pieces. If you find them in your fridge, toss them out or return them to the store. Better safe than sorry.On the social scene, today is packed full of things to do, rain or shine. Start your Saturday right with the Depot Market Square—open until 2 p.m.—or swing by a community work party at Whatcom Creek, where you can get some fresh air and help spruce up the watershed. If you’re looking for something a little more pampered, maybe try a chunky blanket workshop at Kara’s Beauty Barn, or get creative with a DIY pumpkin centerpiece class later this afternoon.Art lovers, don’t miss the Creative Corner Artisan Market on Railroad and North Chestnut, featuring local makers and their handcrafted goods until 3 p.m. And if you’re a fan of live music, Stones Throw Brewery is hosting a concert tonight, while the Lynden Music Festival wraps up tomorrow—so there’s still time to catch some great tunes in a nearby town.Movie buffs—Doctober is in full swing at Pickford Film Center, and tonight, dance under the stars—or at least the sunset—at the Sunset Silent Disco at Zuanich Point Park. Bring your own headphones and your best moves.Sports fans, catch Western Washington University hockey taking on Eastern Washington at the Bellingham Sportsplex tonight at 7 p.m. And if comedy is more your thing, The Upfront Theatre has improv that can’t be missed.Looking ahead, our friends at the Whatcom County Division of Emergency Management are reminding everyone that outdoor burning restrictions will be lifted on the fourth only if conditions are right. But remember—everything is still a bit crispy out there, so use extreme caution with any flames.And finally, in case you were wondering—that missing person alert from earlier this week has officially been canceled. Subject located, mission accomplished.So, whether you’re heading into the mountains, hitting the town, or just curling up at home, Bellingham’s got you covered this Saturday. Stay safe, stay connected, and thanks for tuning in. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency.
