Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, July 27, 2025.It’s a beautiful, much warmer day ahead for Whatcom County, and elevated fire concerns mean local officials are reminding everyone that the Stage 2 burn bans are in effect across the county, including Sandy Point and Lummi Island. That means no outdoor burning, even for your marshmallow toasts or beach bonfires, as we all do our part to keep wildfire risks as low as possible. On that note, a wildfire did break out on the south side of Portage Island last week, prompting a major response—thankfully, crews kept it contained, and a little dog even got a happy rescue after two damp nights out.Hazy skies may linger with some wildfire smoke in our region, but that’s not slowing down the summer fun. Today is packed with things to do for all ages. Start your Sunday with a trip to the Bellingham Farmers Market downtown from 10 to 2, still the heart of local produce, crafts, and live music. Feeling creative?

If you’re venturing a bit farther, Lynden’s Airport Open House and Front Street Arts Festival both run throughout the day with family activities, art, and food.Sports fans, the Bellingham Bells are at Joe Martin Field this afternoon, taking on the Cascade Collegiate League—first pitch is at 1:35, a great way to enjoy a ballgame under summer skies. And if you’re in the mood for bowling, Park Bowl and 20th Century Bowling are open well into the evening.Local road travelers should look ahead to next week when WSDOT will begin overnight lane closures along a ten-mile stretch of I-5 for maintenance, so plan accordingly if you’re heading out late. And for those who frequent Meridian Street, the state is asking for your feedback on future resurfacing projects—have your say on neighborhood improvements.Beaches around Whatcom still have some closures on shellfish harvesting, especially clams and oysters, so check before you dig for your next clam chowder ingredient.
