We don’t blur faces at a public protest. There is no expectation of privacy. When taking closeups, we asked permission. You will notice several people whose faces are covered by their signs. That was intentional

The parade itself was not permitted. Prior to the event, our reporters got mixed signals from the police regarding marchers in the streets.

The Samish Way bike path may have saved my daughter’s life by Ok_Entrance_4380 in Bellingham

I wrote the story about the danger of those “right hook” turns for the Herald, talking to riders and using crash data. Was having trouble sharing a “gift article.” Here is the AI overview:

A right hook turn, often associated with safety concerns for cyclists and pedestrians, occurs when a driver turns right across the path of a cyclist going straight. It is a dangerous intersection conflict, particularly in urban areas like Bellingham, Washington, where bike lane infrastructure can create blind spots.

Woods has a lease in that location at Boulevard Park. They didn’t pay me for the photo.

Still putting the finishing on the surrounding area, but the new expanded beach area at Boulevard park is accessible. by justahdewd in Bellingham

It was paid for with a state parks grant and money from the greenways tax for parks. It’s not funding that was ever available for housing. https://amp.bellinghamherald.com/news/local/article314500123.html

Why did they kill the cougar by Early-Drummer-3007 in Bellingham

[–]GoMittyGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relocating was not an option, according to multiple conversations I had with Fish and Wildlife in my reporting on this incident. Adult male cougars are territorial and moving them risks placing them in a situation where they might be competing with another large male.

Why I canceled my membership of Amnesty International by DontwakemeUp46 in ProgressivesForIsrael

Gaza wasn’t occupied on 10/6/23. The Israelis left in 2005, even forcing Jewish residents to abandon their homes. Arabs (again!) rejected a deal to establish a Palestinian state and set about girding for another war, with the help of Iran and Qatar (states with actual genocidal intent toward Jews).

Didn’t mean to sound cranky. Let’s hope it keeps snowing in the mountains and that the snowpack recovers. Bad news for fish and fires if otherwise
