Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, December 11, 2025. We wake up today with a close eye on our rivers and roads. A flood warning remains in effect for portions of the Nooksack River, including the South Fork near Saxon Bridge and the mainstem near Deming and Ferndale, as a strong round of rain pushes water levels into the moderate flood range. County officials say the Nooksack at Ferndale is expected to crest around 21 feet this afternoon, just above moderate flood stage, which could bring water over low-lying roads, affect farm fields, and create tricky conditions for rural commutes. Crews in communities like Everson, Nooksack, and Sumas have been stacking sandbags along key routes, and residents can still pick up additional sandbags at the Everson City Shop on Robinson Street if they need extra protection. Inside Bellingham city limits, drivers should plan for a slower, wetter commute. Standing water has been reported in several underpasses and along Iowa and Meador near the I-5 overpasses, and state troopers have already had to shut down ramps in that area during peak pooling. Give yourself extra time, avoid driving through water, and watch for sudden closures on familiar shortcuts. If you are looking for something uplifting once the workday winds down, Bellingham has plenty happening tonight. Downtown, Bay Street Village is hosting A Medley at Meloy Gallery, an art show running from noon to 6, a good excuse to duck inside, dry off, and discover local artists. Over in Cordata, the gallery on West Stuart Road continues its Stomping Grounds exhibit late into the afternoon, offering another indoor option to soak in some creativity instead of more rain. Fairhaven gets festive this evening as the Firehouse Arts and Events Center welcomes A Very SUGAR Holiday… With Honey, a holiday performance at 7 that leans into the season with music and story. If you are in the mood for something more casual, Flatstick Pub on State Street rolls out its weekly bingo night at 7, blending mini golf, pints, and prizes. For live music lovers, Zeeks Pizza on Meridian brings in a band from 7 to 9, pairing slices with a soundtrack. And if you are curious about what goes into your favorite local spirits, Chuckanut Bay Distillery is offering its regular Thursday tours, a behind the scenes look at how Bellingham’s small-batch bottles come to life. Housing advocates and curious neighbors also have something substantive on the calendar today. As part of the regional Housing Week series, tours and conversations are spotlighting everything from tiny home communities to service hubs like the Way Station and Lighthouse Mission, connecting the dots between policy debates and the doorways people actually walk through each night. However you spend the day, keep an eye on changing river levels, be kind on the roads, and leave a little extra space between your plans and the weather. 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
