Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, September 18. We’ve got another full day of local stories, happenings, and things to do around our vibrant city.Let’s kick off with some important community news. The City of Bellingham is giving residents a big chance to help shape the next two decades. Tonight at six, the city council chambers will host a public hearing for the latest draft of the Bellingham Plan. This comprehensive plan sets the course for our growth, housing, jobs, transportation, and climate strategy for the next twenty years. It’s your moment to speak up about what kind of Bellingham you want to see, so whether you’re passionate about affordable homes, green transit, or our local business scene, your input counts. If you can’t make it in person, you can also submit your thoughts by email.On a more festive note, Boundary Bay Brewery is gearing up for an epic sendoff this weekend. As they celebrate three decades in Bellingham, the legendary brewery will throw its last ever block party this Saturday. Expect to see Railroad Avenue transformed into a lively all-day festival, co-hosted with the Bellingham Farmers Market. There will be local food, chef demos, a massive beer garden, and lineup of bands playing on two different stages. It’s family friendly and totally Bellingham—think Bottle of Smoke, Hot Damn Scandal, and more, all coming together to mark the end of an era downtown.If you’re looking for something today, the Whatcom Museum is inviting families to get creative at the Whaley Excited FIG Studio session. Young minds can build and create from ten in the morning until four-thirty. Over at Northwest Yarns, the crafting circle will be gathering from five thirty to seven, open to fiber enthusiasts of all stripes. And for a different kind of craft, Bar Cicotti is hosting Dinner and Jazz Night from six to eight, promising great music to go with your evening meal.Traffic-wise, Washington drivers will want to keep an eye out for continuing lane closures along I-90, especially near Snoqualmie Pass and Easton for roadwork through tomorrow. This could add delay for anyone heading out of town, so budget a little extra time.In local public safety, police made a notable arrest after a high-speed chase on I-5 overnight. A 21-year-old is now in custody following a dramatic pursuit and successful use of drones and K9s, reminding us how technology is changing local law enforcement.There’s more on the community calendar, from stand-up comedy nights to events at Christ the King church, so whether you’re in need of a laugh or a bit of inspiration, Bellingham has you covered.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
