Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 24. It’s a bright and breezy start to autumn here in Bellingham, and the city is buzzing with activities and a bit of headline news. Last night, law enforcement made a third arrest in connection with an ongoing cocaine operation in the area, a case that’s been unfolding over the past few months. The suspect, a 34-year-old woman, was taken in on several drug-related charges, including maintaining a property for drug trafficking. The investigation began this summer when officials discovered crack cocaine cooking equipment in a local hotel, and trial dates for two other suspects have already been scheduled for later this fall. The sheriff’s office has signaled that the crackdown on local drug crime continues to be a priority, aiming to disrupt networks that impact neighborhoods across Bellingham.In lighter news, today’s calendar is packed with ways to connect, relax, and explore. If you’re feeling musical, Local musician Aaron Guest will be performing live piano in the Boundary Bay Taproom from 5:30 to 7:30 tonight—his event wraps up today for the season. Over at Stones Throw Brewery, the vibes keep flowing from 6 to 8 p.m. with more live music, perfect for kicking back after work. If you’re in the mood to learn something new, Fairhaven Library Auditorium is opening its doors for an intro to Scottish Country Dancing at 7 p.m. Enter through the back and prepare to step, twirl, and maybe make a few new friends.For those who love food, felines, or just a unique Wednesday twist, NEKO Cat Cafe is hosting College Day from 6 to 7:30 p.m., promising a dose of cuteness to lift midweek spirits. Lake Whatcom continues its popular Women on Water night for paddle sports, welcoming all skill levels from 6 to 9 p.m. And down at Cafe Rumba, you can drop in on Café con Conversación if you’re looking to practice your Spanish and meet new people. If you’re up for something different, Northwest Indian College is holding its Museum After Dark from 5 to 8:30 p.m. The immersive evening at the Lummi campus gives you a chance to explore culture, art, and maybe discover a new perspective as we head into fall.Staying connected to the wider region, folks in the north county might notice a few lingering outages, but Bellingham’s power grid remains steady this morning. Road-wise, southbound I-5 travelers near Ferndale should expect a few closures and delays as road crews continue their ramp repairs—worth planning ahead if you’re crossing county lines.Looking ahead, this weekend promises more excitement. The annual Bellingham SeaFeast takes over Zuanich Park, celebrating our maritime heritage with fresh seafood, live entertainment, and hands-on fun for the whole family. Saturday also brings the ever-popular Farmers Market at Depot Market Square, record collectors have their fix at the Black Noise Record Fair, and Fish Tales & Ales at Beach Cat Brewing delivers stories from local fisherfolk.That’s everything making waves in Bellingham this Wednesday. Bundle up for the crisp air, take advantage of the creativity and connection humming through town, and keep an eye out for changing traffic as construction continues. 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
