Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, August 17th, 2025.It’s a picture-perfect Pacific Northwest Sunday here in Bellingham, and the city is buzzing with murals, markets, music, and so many ways to get outside and soak in the last stretch of summer. Kicking things off this morning at the Portal Container Village is the grand finale of the Noisy Waters Mural Festival. After three days of live painting and creativity from artists around the region, check out the murals and cast your vote for the crowd favorite as $30,000 in prizes will be handed out this afternoon. Need a little movement to shake off a slow start? Free yoga with Mr Noodyl gets things flowing at nine, and there’s music all day with DJ Mr Noodyl at ten, Brushpopper at noon, and Brittany Collins taking the Trackside Stage from three to five for a send-off you won’t want to miss.If you’re feeling inspired to get on your bike, legendary muralist Gretchen Leggitt is leading a bicycle-powered mural tour that starts at 11. Bring your own wheels, helmet, and curiosity, and see seven of Bellingham’s most impressive murals, including the largest in Washington State. The suggested donation helps keep this grassroots festival alive and thriving in our community.For those of you with young adventurers in tow, there’s endless fun on offer. The Bellingham Farmer’s Market is open from ten to two, bursting with fresh local produce, flowers, baked treats, and handmade crafts. The Whatcom Museum’s FIG Studio and Artist Corner run all day until 4:30 if you’re feeling artsy, and for wildlife lovers, the Marine Life Center is free and open both morning and afternoon. If it’s fresh air you’re after, hit up one of the county’s spray parks or try SPARK in the Park’s Fun with Flight at 10:30 for a free hands-on science adventure in the sun.On the sports front, Lake Padden is action central this morning with the First Annual Race for the Underdogs 5K at 8:30, followed by stand-up paddleboard yoga at nine—perfect for anyone ready to test their balance while taking in the lakeside views.
