Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, July 28, 2025.We hope you’re starting your week with plenty of energy, because there’s a lot buzzing in Bellingham and Whatcom County today. Starting with our weather, brace yourself for much warmer temperatures this week. Dry, hot, and breezy conditions are expected and with that comes elevated fire concerns. Stay mindful of those Stage 2 burn bans now in effect across Whatcom County, including Sandy Point and Lummi Island. That means all outdoor burning, even campfires and beach fires, are not allowed until further notice—so plan your BBQs accordingly and check local fire district notices before you light up the grill.Due to higher bacteria levels, swimming is temporarily closed at Wildcat Cove in Larrabee State Park, so you’ll want to avoid a dip there today. On top of that, some local beaches are closed to molluscan shellfish harvesting. So if you had clamming, musseling, or oyster gathering on your mind, make sure you double-check before heading out.Wildfire smoke might continue to bring haze across our region, especially before the westerly winds are forecast to return later in the week. Keep an eye on air quality if you’re sensitive to smoke.Now, let’s pivot to community happenings and ways to get involved. If you’re looking to cool down, the Whatcom Family YMCA pools are open for early morning laps or a mid-afternoon splash. The Bellingham Aquatic Center has preschool swim this afternoon and open swim later in the day, making it a perfect stop for families. The historic Bellingham Farmer’s Market runs from 10 to 2 today—grab fresh produce, baked goods, and local crafts, and say hi to your neighborhood growers and makers.Art lovers can drop by the Whatcom Museum’s Family Interactive Gallery for the FIG Artists Corner and hands-on creative fun, or swing by the annual Birch Bay Sandcastle Competition happening all day if you’re feeling beachy. Over in Lynden, the airport’s open house gives aviation buffs a behind-the-scenes look, while downtown Front Street hosts an arts festival perfect for a stroll.Over in Ferndale, the Old Settler’s Grand Parade kicks off at 11, followed by the annual Pioneer Picnic—a tradition that brings the community together with food, fun, and plenty of nostalgia. Kids can join story time on Lummi Island or hit the skateway in Lynden for some summer spins. Later tonight, Bellingham’s iconic bowling alleys are open late for a friendly showdown or family outing.For those heading out tonight, Boundary Bay Brewery is capping off its Monday night series in the beer garden—go for live music, a pint, and a chill evening right downtown.And finally, some key notes for the week ahead: Lane and ramp closures continue along a 10-mile stretch of I-5 for overnight road work, so if you’re commuting or traveling, keep your route flexible. Also, the Washington State Department of Transportation is currently asking for resident input as they design a major resurfacing project for Meridian Street. Have your say about the future of your city’s roads.That wraps up today’s local news and what’s happening around town. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency.
