Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, December 6, 2025. Let’s start with the weather and what it means for your weekend plans. Whatcom County Emergency Management is keeping an eye on a very active pattern, with a coastal flood advisory in effect for shoreline areas this morning and a recent gale warning over the inland waters. That means higher-than-usual tides, choppy bay conditions, and some ponding on low-lying roads, especially around high tide. Crews are not reporting major incidents so far, but officials are asking folks to give themselves extra travel time, avoid parking right along the waterfront, and keep storm drains clear of leaves to help with localized flooding. Looking ahead, more rounds of rain and breezy winds are expected into early next week, so this is a good time to check gutters, secure holiday decorations, and revisit your winter preparedness plans.Now to the fun stuff: there is no shortage of things to do around town today. Downtown, the Bellingham Farmers Market is open late this season, running from 10 to 2 at Depot Market Square, a great chance to pick up local produce, crafts, and some very giftable goodies. Over in Fairhaven, Winterfest lights up the historic district throughout the day, with free activities, horse-drawn carriage rides from noon to three, photos with Santa and his elves, and the Firelit Stroll later this evening, when candles and torches turn the village into a glowing holiday postcard. Down at the Port, families can head to the Holiday Port Festival and Gingerbread House Contest starting late morning, and come evening, keep an eye on the bay for the Lighted Boat Parade as decorated vessels cruise past Bellingham’s waterfront.Indoors, the Holiday Festival of the Arts is open most of the day, offering local art, music, and handmade gifts under one roof. The Whatcom Museum’s Deck the Old City Hall exhibit opens at noon, with historic halls dressed up in holiday style. If you are looking for kid friendly options, the Marine Life Center on the waterfront is open for free exploration of touch tanks and local sea life, and there are several library “Let’s Make Presents” craft sessions around the county to help little ones create their own gifts. Tonight, if you want something low key and cozy, Bellingham Makerspace at Bellis Fair is hosting a free board game night starting at six, welcoming both seasoned gamers and curious first timers. 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
