Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, December eighth.Around the county, eyes are on the sky and the shoreline today. Whatcom County Emergency Management has a coastal flood advisory in effect through midday, along with a wind advisory that runs into tonight, and a flood watch on local rivers through later this week. Expect periods of heavy rain, gusty south to southeast winds that could reach the mid 40s along the coast, and minor flooding in low-lying or poor-drainage areas, especially near Ferndale and other Nooksack River stretches. Mariners in the northern inland waters are also under a small craft advisory this morning, with a gale warning taking over by late morning, so smaller boats should stay in port today.On the roads, keep an eye out for residual congestion and ongoing investigation work on northbound I-5 near the Alger and Lake Samish area, after yesterday’s tragic incident in which a man jumped from a moving tour bus and was struck and killed. That happened Sunday afternoon and shut down the right lane while State Patrol and WSDOT responded, and it is a sobering reminder to slow down and give emergency crews room to work if you are driving through that corridor.If you are looking for something brighter to do indoors, Bellingham’s holiday season is in full swing. Down on the waterfront, the Hotel Bellwether is glowing with its annual Holiday Trees Celebration, where more than 20 themed trees decorated by local businesses line the lobby and halls. You can wander through, vote for your favorite, and support Skookum Kids, with everyone who votes entered for a chance at a night in the Lighthouse Suite.For families and kids, the spirit of the Holiday Port Festival continues at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal with gingerbread creations and festive displays to explore. If you want to move a little, head to Bloedel Donovan’s community building this afternoon from four to six for GangBall, or over to Fairhaven where the FireHouse Arts and Events Center hosts Music Monday with community ukulele players from three thirty to five. As evening comes on, you can wind down with Relax and Restore at the Cordata Park Pavilion, get your body moving at Monday Night Dance in the Majestic Ballroom, or test your brain at trivia night at Zeeks Pizza on Meridian. Vinyl lovers can close out the night at Ritual Records Night at El Sueñito Brewing, with curated records spinning from seven to nine.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
