Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for October 16, 2025. Today marks a significant event in Washington state - The Great Washington Shakeout, the world's largest earthquake and tsunami drill, takes place at 10:16 AM. This annual drill is crucial, especially given the Cascadia Subduction Zone's proximity to our region. Participants are encouraged to drop, cover, and hold on, and if living near the water, head to high ground. The state will also test its tsunami siren system, so if you hear those sirens, don't be alarmed and avoid calling 9-1-1.
In other news, road access to Artist Point at Mount Baker has been closed for the winter season due to early snowfall. This closure affects outdoor enthusiasts planning to visit the popular hiking spot. If you're looking for alternative activities, Bellingham has plenty to offer. Today, you can enjoy indoor bocce ball at the Bellingham Sportsplex from 10 AM to 12 PM. The Chuckanut Bay Distillery is open for tours today, as it is every day of the week. For those interested in art, the PURE JOY exhibition at the Cordata Gallery runs from 11 AM to 4 PM.
