Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, September 22, 2025.Let’s dive right into what’s happening around town and what you can expect for your start to the week. First up, the investigation into a suspicious vehicle over the weekend ended with the seizure of drugs, a firearm, and cash, with deputies reporting some inconsistent stories from the people involved. Local authorities continue to urge everyone to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and stay alert, especially as school is in full swing. Speaking of which, a tragic car crash involving Nooksack Valley High School students last week resulted in a loss that has hit the community hard. If you’re driving near local schools and neighborhoods, please slow down and watch for kids during commute hours.In city news, the North Lake Samish bridge reopening is definitely making life a bit easier for travelers who frequent that area, but keep in mind Samish Park will stay closed to the public for a while longer as repairs continue. And if you’re heading out on the road near Ferndale, expect some traffic impacts as I-5 southbound ramps get ground down and repaved this week—plan for possible delays or alternate routes. For those affected by weekend power outages in the Lynden, Everson, and Point Roberts areas, utilities crews worked into the afternoon, with most folks expected to have power restored by the evening.Let’s turn to things a bit lighter. The Goodyear Blimp was spotted floating above Whatcom County yesterday, adding an unexpected touch of spectacle to the skyline. And yes, officials have also confirmed a bear sighting around Sumas—another reminder that we really do live where wild things roam.There’s plenty on the calendar to shake off those Monday blues.

And if you want to get a jump start on tomorrow’s fun, there’s Best Buds Bingo at Cheba Hut, a Botanical Broom Workshop at Kara’s Beauty Barn, and a fiber arts gathering at Stones Throw Brewery for the crafty crowd.
