I just got pulled over for my center brake light being out. If my other rear brake lights are in working order, did I get pulled over for no legit reason?

Also, does anyone know where the best place is to get it replaced? 2013 Dodge Charger.

Edit: thank you to everyone that was actually helpful!

What’re your thoughts on the sheriffs office? Those of you that work there, how is it?

I made this video to explain what's happening on the waterfront.

We were at structures and a child vomited very close proximity to our daughter. Her shirt was sprayed with puke. I picked her up swiftly and handed her to my husband who was like “omg change her shirt do we have spare clothes”. We changed her. Listen we have two kids. We know kids get sick on a whim but when you say out loud “oh I’m sorry he’s been sick but you’re Next” is inexcusable. I find that incredibly rude and inconsiderate! I even handed you baby wipes. I literally would never bring my contagious child to a public space with a GI bug . Come on man !!!!! GTFOH

Is I-5 south still backed up? Pls lemme know I gotta drive soon and I’m scared😭😭

After a ton of things happening and unfolding, I have accepted a job with the city and my family and I are moving from CO, and we are very excited. I've been watching this sub over the process, and I absolutely love how genuine and tight knit everyone is about the community. It's truly amazing to see, especially having kids.

That being said 🙃 one of the only things I really haven't delved into researching is the ice hockey rink and programs and what not. I am a life long player, adult goalie, and this will be my 16th year officiating. I have a few questions that I was hoping could be answered here 😬

How are the youth programs? How is the adult program? Who would I get in contact with to find the referee scheduler in the area? What other levels of hockey are played, if any, like high school or college?

We are ready to explore and thrive in the absolutely beautiful city of "Belly-ham," as my 3 year old calls it. I only got to check out Fairhaven during the short time I had before my interview, and it sold me just driving in from Chuckanut Drive. Thank you for having such an amazing city and community!!

This is the second time that someone from a campaign has planted a political sign directly in my yard/on my property without asking/getting my consent. I threw away both signs.

Seriously, if you are volunteering for a candidate, it makes people less likely to want to vote for your candidate if you disrespect the people that your candidate is running to represent by planting giant signs at their private residences and making it look like they are endorsing your candidate without their consent/agreement.

In other words: Chis Elder's campaign literally needs to get off of my lawn. There is city-owned land across the street from me, yet you chose to plant your sign on my property instead and now your sign is in the trash. Where the heck is your common sense?

The drone activity up by Kulshan/Shuksan is really depressing. I know Artist Point is a tourist attraction. That's fine. But when someone is on their second night in the alpine, and something that sounds like a goddamn weed-wacker with a fucking 4k camera strapped to it, is suddenly bobbing around over your head, well, game over. Invasion of privacy? Completely ruining any sort of genuine nature experience? That shit should be like a 25k fine or jail time.

And for what it's worth, it's already illegal. Shuksan is inside North Cascades National Park, where drones have been banned since 2014, and the Mount Baker Wilderness bans them too. Up to six months in jail and a $5k fine. Nobody is up there enforcing any of it. Parks Canada, 30 miles north, goes up to $25k.

It disrupts wildlife. A raptor, bear, goat, or marmot have no clue that, as an intermediate incel, that device was your most favoritest Christmas wish come true. Or that, as someone just starting to navigate this world, nothing will stop your burgeoning interest in social media cinematography. You must have that aerial shot of Mount Shuksan that at least 4 billion other people have taken.

It's just slightly worse than the chubby man babies on their tuned up "choppers" giving every child within a mile radius their first dose of tinnitus. Just fuck the fuck off already. You were having a hard time figuring shit out so you adopted this template?? We're all super intimidated and impressed. You seem like you've found true freedom 🤣

Anyway, can we have some real consequences for flying these stupid things into protected areas?

Anyone know why I-5 south is in total shutdown right now, starting just south of Silver Reef? Mass police presence happening, I’m just very curious.

Shout out to the gentleman who helped my 87-year-old mom up off the ground after she fell on her face outside Barkley Library today. Your kindness makes Bellingham a better place. 💕

Hello!
I am a stay at home momma and, I do a lot of art on the side. I make jewelry that includes, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. I also paint! I wanted to reach out to the community to see if there is anyone willing to help me get my work out there! I’ve sold to Stone & Moon but, would like to put my feelers out for anyone who would be interested in helping out a fellow local artist in having a small stand for my jewelry! Here are a couple pieces I handmade, and a painting for those interested.

I haven’t gotten fish & chips in ages, and I really have no idea who does them best at this point. Where should I go to be blown away?

I just can’t recall where I saw it posted! I don’t know the name or location. Opened in last couple weeks! Help me out!

I had been wanting to visit Hazeltree and hadn’t made it to Emmaquatics in their old location, but was very excited to go. Last night I went to their hosting of Bikerscope, and folks, this is my new favorite spot in town. Go after dark for ultimate ambience!

I am pretty sure this is a male migrating California sea lion here to catch some salmon 🤘🏻

For context, I am an adult diagnosed autistic ADHD as well as an SA survivor, I used to be a community council member of the order many years ago during COVID, due to some personal issues and some drama amongst the council members I decided to separate for awhile and just focus on myself, flash to current year, I try to rejoin the community, missing the joy of hitting people with sabers to find myself immediately banned for no reason, zero warning, zero communication just gone. I have never been banned or gotten in trouble with that community before, so apparently this "welcoming" community actually only welcomed certain individuals and will bully and ban anyone they decide they don't like.

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely welcoming of criticism of my behavior if I did do something wrong, but like I said, I'm super autistic so unless someone tells me I did something wrong I will not figure it out on my own, not trying to use autism as an excuse just as a sorta context to how difficult it is to fit in with others around me. It also doesn't help that I am only a recent diagnosis so I have been working hard to figure out my life and working with a therapist who specializes with my type of autism ADHD.

For added context the drama was related to a female member of the council throwing around proven false accusations of harassment to several male members causing a few to quit, me included, from my personal experience being SA'd I decided I didn't feel comfortable in a community that allows and fosters that kind of behavior. She also was known to be very abusive to people close to her and was extremely narcissistic. You only get my word on that but it was my personal experience.

Just seems strange to claim that you're extremely welcoming but then immediately bully and ban people without any context or information, pretty shallow if you ask me.

Edit: their "leadership" has still failed to make any official statements, the commenter in chat claiming to be an officer I do not recognize as older leadership so I assume probably rage bait. Horid club that allows abusers to gain power and manipulate others into isolation.

Hoping to catch a ride back up to bham tonight after the pheobebridgers concert so I dont need to stay overnight. Would pay for gas! Pls comment or dm if ur able ❤️

I would love to be able to identify this artist- potentially local I found it at a thrift store here. I can’t identify what the signature says very well and want to see if any community members can identify or if the artwork is familiar. ty!~

Hi i recently adopted a puppy from happy tails happy homes and we are loving it! Now that she is settled in and comfortable she's starting her teething and puppy behavior ! any pocket friendly and good results training suggestions ?

My new neighbor (moved into town from out in the county) and his two Harleys are driving me nuts. I want to passive-aggressively leave a note on his (also obnoxious) large diesel truck suggesting he find a more appropriate place to do all his revving. Anyone know of a place I can direct him to?

(ETA: this dude is at least a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier than me and has a short fuse. I really don't want to talk to him directly)

My partner is visiting for next weekend (Oct 31-nov 2) and was wondering if anyone had a tandem bike they’d be willing to loan us for the weekend! We both bike regularly and would not be using it for Halloween partying just a day trip or two around town and wanted to try out a tandem! Can pay like 20 or 30 bucks or in beer if that suits ya. We hit a lot of dead ends trying to find a rental.

Thanks!

Looking for a local bakery that can do a Gluten Free Ice Cream cake next week. GF is optional, ice cream is mandatory. Any recs?
