Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, October twentieth. It is a crisp autumn morning here in Bellingham, with the leaves turning vivid shades of gold and red throughout Boulevard Park and along Cornwall Avenue. As the city wakes up, there is plenty happening around town to kick off your week, so let us dive into what is on tap today.
First up, commuters should be aware of ongoing roadwork along Samish Way and Lakeway Drive. Expect some lane closures and minor delays through the early afternoon. If you are headed to Western Washington University or downtown, consider giving yourself a few extra minutes. On the transit side, WTA routes are running on the regular weekday schedule, and the new electric buses are now humming along parts of Cornwall and Meridian, adding a little buzz to the morning rush.
Speaking of Western, the university is in full swing with midterms underway. The campus is bustling, and so is Red Square, where students are setting up for the annual Fall Sustainability Fair from ten to two. Stop by if you are curious about local eco-projects, energy-saving strategies, or simply want to enjoy live music and snacks from Bellingham’s up-and-coming food vendors.
Art lovers will find inspiration today at the Lightcatcher Museum, hosting its local artists showcase all week. Admission is free for Bellingham residents every Monday, so it is a great time to see some of the vibrant works created right here in Whatcom County. Meanwhile, over at the Pickford Film Center, there is a matinee of the much-anticipated indie documentary on Salish Sea conservation, followed by a Q and A with the filmmakers.
If you are hungry with all this activity, make sure to check out the new food truck pod that just opened beside Elizabeth Park. This morning features warm pastries from Lone Pine, followed at lunchtime by fresh salmon tacos courtesy of a partnership between a local fisher and the Salish Sea Cooperative. Rumor has it there will be some free samples if you arrive before noon.
On the events front, tonight at the Bellingham Public Library downtown, the monthly Local Authors Night starts at six. It is an excellent way to connect with writers from our own backyard, hear new stories, and maybe even pick up your next favorite read. If you are more into music, Honey Moon Mead and Cider is hosting an open mic night with a special focus on folk and bluegrass traditions, so tune up that guitar and grab a mead for some classic Bellingham vibes.
A quick weather update as you plan your day. Temperatures will hover in the mid to upper fifties, with clouds rolling in through the afternoon and a slight chance of showers by evening. Pack a sweater and keep an umbrella handy, especially if you have outdoor plans after work.
Before we sign off, a reminder that early voting is underway with ballots due by November fourth. Several neighborhood drop boxes are open, and the Whatcom County Auditor’s Office downtown can answer any questions about this year’s important local measures.
That wraps up your morning in Bellingham. Remember, some of the best ways to connect with our city are right outside your door, whether you are attending an event, exploring a new trail, or simply supporting a local business. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We will see you tomorrow with more local updates.
