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

This little fella smacked HARD into a window downtown and ended up stunned on the sidewalk. He eventually recovered only to take off, flying directly into another, leaving him really knocked out in a far less dignified posture. This earned him a berth in a cardboard box and a ride out to animal rescue on Mission Road, where they will monitor until navigational competence is restored. Good to have such great volunteers available to help. Big shout out to animal rescue and the Humane Society.

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

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. 💕

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?

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’m doing really good and I’m walking lots. Was wondering if anybody would care for some company?
I promise I’m not gonna just keel over on you!! :)
I just would like some company and I can’t drive…
I’d even throw some gas money at you or whatever I’ll buy you some coffee somewhere. I’m not allowed to have caffeine for. I don’t know how long so I cannot partake, but I don’t mind if you do..
Second question would be would you be willing to walk dogs with me? I can use my car. I live behind Schucksan middle school. we could go to Bellingham technical College to the off leash area and use my car to load the dogs in and out. Keep the mud out of yours.
Or just walk without the DOGS’s up to you I’m here for whatever you could DM me and I’ll give you my phone number. Hope everyone’s doing well.✌🏼

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?

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?

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.

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!~

My sister and I went on a walk in the Sehome Arboretum near campus and couldn't help but notice the eyeballs that were everywhere. They were drawn, painted, some of them even knitted and mounted to trees... I didn't think they were the evil eye based on color/design, so we were a bit stumped. What's up with all the creepy eyes?

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 ?

Hey r/Bellingham!

The workers at Trulife need your support. We've been in contract "negotiations" for over 8 months now so we're hosting our third Workers Night to get the community involved. Please join us for a night of solidarity ✊

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

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 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!

Hi, I moved here a few months ago and my work schedule just changed to starting around 10am and working quite late. I'm still trying to meet people and make new friends but, unsurprisingly, am having trouble finding activities and places to meet people weekday mornings, which are kind of my only availability at this point. Let me know if you guys have any ideas!

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!!

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!
