short notice, I know...

I have 2 tickets for the show tonight: opener is a 80's review and main show is a hair band tribute. Supposed to be fun but we can't make it.

If I give you my name at will call, and they're ok with that, ... does anyone that can go, want them?

Yesterday I found out that Cloud Mountain in Everson is closing in a couple months.

We moved nearby a year and a half ago and were so excited to have them as our neighbors. We have been by many times and have been members from the moment we got here. Bought lots of fruit trees, toured the property, and had questions answered about permaculture in this area. We were looking forward to taking classes there.

I am feeling so much grief over this, they do so much for the community and are such an integral part of it. Arguably one of the most important businesses in Whatcom County for community building and sustainability.

Does anyone know if there are classes or good videos where someone teaches you how to patch/mend clothes and socks? Trying to be less wasteful and more frugal, but have no sewing experience. I was gifted a sewing machine but don’t know how to use it.

I have been mulling this over since last summer. I find the "official" subreddit for each gig app is extremely toxic and negative with little useful or productive discussion relevant to working here.

The focus would be Bellingham/Whatcom County/NW Washington. Tips/tricks, advice/support on transitioning out of gig work, car advice, safety advice, general moral support, labor organizing, etc.

Ranting/venting would be politely re-directed to those "official subs".

I thought you all might want an update on where the service, tech, and lab employees are in their negotiations with PeaceHealth.

"More than 900 PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center employees started voting on Thursday, April 3, on whether or not to authorize a strike. The vote will be counted Tuesday, April 8."

Lost my silver carabiner with multi-colored lanyard, moon pendant, and blacklight somewhere between Bakerview Fred Meyer and Costco. I know it’s a long shot but I’d really love to have that back as the items are significant - please reach out if you find it and see this!

Are there any stores in the Bellingham area where I can get a decent cocktail dress for a moderately fancy wedding? Preferably $100 or less. I know of Macy's but that's about it...

How early should I be at the Anacortes terminal to make the ferry I want? I’m looking to catch the 1:35 to Friday harbor as a walk-on and was thinking of being at the terminal by noon. Is that way too early?

Hey all I’m at Taylor Dock right now checking out some craters on the Moon. If you’re in the area swing by and we’ll share the view! We’ll be out until midnight. Look for us up near the public restrooms by the parking lot.

Space!!

This may be one of those "I'm too lazy to do a Google search" posts... But does anybody have any recommendations for buying local food? Maybe the farmer's market is the best option? Or buy straight from the source?

When it comes to meat how flexible are the options for purchase? For example I usually buy about 3 lbs of chicken thighs each week. Are they usually sold as whole chickens when you buy local?

I guess I'm just used to going to the grocery story and having the "convenience" of buying whatever I want regardless of season. How might my experience be different buying from non-factory farmers?

I was wondering if any of you work at the bellingham fire department or know of anyone that does.

Do they have a training matrix with classes required to take and do they provide a growth plan with a direction you may be wanting to go within the fire department.

I'm coming from a department in the south east of the region, we recently recieved a new chief and he is beginning to enforce college classes and will not compensate any time to drive a few hours away to the academy for a multi day class and require us to burn our time.

Thank you for your time.

I’m looking for a shop to service my 1999 Infiniti g20 with a starter issue. The starter is already removed, I can tow it wherever. Who do you recommend ?

Hi everyone, I live in whatcom county and I have quite the insane electric bills. So I live in a 4 year old manufactured home 1800sq with 2x 6 construction double pain windows all energy saving appliances less then 5 yr old and led lighting throughout I have a electric water heater and furnace.

Our electric bill is consistently over 330.00 dollars per month. Last month it was over 500.00

It's 2 adults and 1 kid and were away from home 9 hrs per day. Besides weekends.

Is this just the typical price to pay with the heat on or is something else going on that requires further investigation?

What are some ways I can lower my electric costs ?

Current resident at KERF apartments. We found out that they are raising the monthly parking fee from $75 to $125 for people renewing their leases. And charging $125 a month for any new residents. If you or anyone you know are thinking about moving in, please look elsewhere, it is really not worth it. If they are willing to increase a simple parking fee by 70% I worry what else they will do and will not be resigning for another year.

I was on my way to pick up dinner and drove by a tent serving food set up in front of the gas station at Orleans and Sunset on the SE corner. It wasn't until I was on my way back that I saw it was a legit al pastor stand complete with a guy shaving meat off the spit and I was greatly disappointed in my life choices. Does anyone know if this will be a regular occurrence or when they will be set up next?

My dad let me use his account to do this. Like many kids, I walk home from school most days and cross the intersection between Willow Rd and Chuckanut. Sometimes cars stop for me but most times they don’t, even sometimes when I’m already on the road. You can help make it safer for students like me and other people that use this intersection. By signing my petition you’re helping to make bellingham safer.

Is this a leucistic squirrel? Or some other semi-rare variation of the grey ones? There are at least three living in the park!

I hate jiffy lube.

Anyone know why the deer around here look so fucked up? They often look like they really been through some things

Yesterday and today I painted over some graffiti on the green fences along Lakeway.

We are constantly hearing stories about things we can have so little influence over, and I wanted to do something REAL.

I'm not here for karma or accolades, however.

This is just a message to recognize there is a lot we can do to make our community (and in a way the world) just a touch better for ourselves and one another. It took $13 and 15 minutes.

It felt great.

“Brethren Dwelling Together In Unity” no more. Strange times.
