Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 13, 2025.As we kick off another beautiful day in Bellingham, families across the county have something extra special to look forward to – it’s Kids Day at the Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden. That means complimentary gate admission for all children 12 and under. Whether you’re there to see the animals, catch the rodeo action, or sample some classic fair food, today’s the day to bring the kids for free family fun. The fair is open till 10 tonight and the forecast looks perfect for a summer outing.Speaking of fun, downtown is full of ways to enjoy the evening. Stones Throw Brewery is hosting live music from six to eight, so if you fancy relaxing with a local brew and some mellow tunes, stroll down to Larrabee Avenue. For those who like their entertainment a bit more feline, NEKO Cat Cafe has college day, a chance to sip coffee while snuggling up with a furry friend from six to seven thirty on Cornwall Avenue. And if art calls your name, don’t miss Modern Meets Primitive at Cordata Gallery, open from eleven to four, showcasing works by Northwestern creators weaving together ancient traditions and modern vision.Out on the water, Larrabee State Park’s half-day kayak tours continue today, with both morning and afternoon slots. You can paddle the coastline, spot sea life, and shake off the workweek. For night owls planning ahead, tomorrow is the start of bioluminescence kayak tours where the water comes alive with glowing plankton. After sunset, it’s a mystical experience you won’t forget.For families with young kids, spray parks are open and the Marine Life Center downtown welcomes visitors for free all day. There’s open swim at Arne Hanna Aquatic Center and PlayDate BLI has open play till seven tonight so kids can burn off some summer energy.If you’re looking to join a running club, El Sueñito Brewing is gathering runners for an evening jaunt at six thirty, and there’s always the chance to wind down with trivia or community at local venues later in the week.Turning to community news, preliminary results from last week’s primary election continue to roll in across Whatcom County, so keep an eye out for updates on those key races as we head toward November. Meanwhile, Washington Trust Bank has officially opened its new financial center downtown, bringing expanded banking options for local residents and businesses.Finally, a quick safety notice for commuters: while travel is smooth in town, areas south towards Everett are experiencing closures after a serious accident on I-5 last night, so expect delays if heading that way.And for a quick arts note, the Noisy Waters Mural Festival is underway, with artists painting new large-scale works around Bellingham’s downtown core. It’s an inspiring chance to watch creativity unfold if you’re wandering the streets today.This has been Bellingham Local Frequency.
