Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 9, 2025.We start today with a public health update. If you get your drinking water directly from Lake Whatcom, please be aware of a boil water advisory. After a sewer lift station overflow at Camp Firwood, some sewage entered a stormwater drain leading straight into the lake. Residents without a water disinfection system who draw water from the lake should boil it for at least a minute before drinking or cooking. If you’re a City of Bellingham or Lake Whatcom Water and Sewer customer, your water remains safe[1].Moving to local events, there’s no shortage of summer fun downtown. The beloved Downtown Sounds concert series continues tonight, bringing live music and a lively crowd to the heart of the Arts District starting at 5:30. The Bellingham Queer Collective is hosting Social Hours during the show, offering a welcoming space for all to mingle and enjoy the festivities[2]. Across town, Stones Throw Brewery is featuring live music from 6 to 8 p.m., perfect for those looking for a relaxing evening outdoors[10].Families with little ones, don’t miss the “Wheelie Good Time” at the Family Interactive Gallery inside Whatcom Museum today. Kids can create colorful abstract wheel paintings in this drop-in, play-to-learn art studio. It runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is a fantastic way to let young imaginations roll[8].Tonight is also game night for the Bellingham Bells, who play the Edmonton Riverhawks at Joe Martin Field. The first pitch is at 6:35 p.m. Head out for affordable, family-friendly baseball action and cheer on our home team during their summer collegiate season[9].If you’re interested in the local arts and skateboarding scene, the city has announced plans for a brand-new skatepark under the Roeder Avenue Bridge. The 16,000-square-foot redevelopment will feature space for skateboarding, live music, and art, reflecting a growing investment in public spaces. While construction isn’t underway just yet, expect public input opportunities soon, so keep an eye out if you want to have your say in how this space takes shape[3].Real estate news for those tracking market shifts: The Kerf apartments on North Samish Way were just sold in a deal topping fifty million dollars. This marks one of the latest big investments in Bellingham housing, reflecting the continued demand for local rentals[5].And looking ahead, Bellingham Pride celebrations are just around the corner, with a family picnic and all-ages dance coming up this Saturday and the always vibrant parade and festival set for Sunday downtown. If you want to march in the parade, the theme this year is Heroes Versus Villains, and everyone’s encouraged to join in the fun[2].That’s a wrap for today’s top local stories and happenings.
