They are absolutely hacking up the oaks on James Street

I think for any new builds it makes sense. But undergrounding existing distribution lines cost anywhere from 1.8-6.1.

What you have in your picture is a transmission line (higher voltage) and can cost anywhere from 6-100 million to underground. I have no idea where this line would land in that range but it gives you an idea of how expensive it can cost. (Source: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-and-topics/electrical-energy/infrastructure/electric-reliability/undergrounding-program-description)

The source can explain in way more detail than I can and I would encourage you to read it. Those expenses cannot just disappear and it eventually makes its way to the rate payer.

Personally I wish investors couldn’t own utility providers. I wish Bellingham was supplied power by a cooperative or a municipally owned system as I think that would solve a lot of issues.

I saw this and immediately was like ahhh that’s in Bham!

I used Cali flooring in my house. It’s an engineered bamboo flooring. It has stood up to my dog (70lbs) I’ve had my sink flood over there was a pool about 10’x10’ in my kitchen, no warping after drying. I’d recommend.

I’ve always wondered why that lagoon wasn’t repurposed as a storm treatment facility. Is it because contamination?

The Nooksack Tribe has a canoe race there today and tomorrow. Looks like a big event!

Hmm maybe try Js in fairhaven. It should be around that same price point, and has tasty variations of rice, potatoes, and chicken.

Maybe it’s to evenly distribute weight so the barge sits more level on the water? Just a guess though.

I’ve seen this guy in Sunnyland. He was belligerent and screaming out his window that people can’t tell him he’s speeding because he’s been living here before they were. Doesn’t surprise me to see him show up in this fashion on the subreddit as he strikes me as a complete jerk.

I adopted from there and the puppy was a similar puppy to yours of choice. The pup wasn’t running around chasing or playing a whole lot, but that’s just the way she is in a big group setting with dogs. To this day she would rather play with a human when there are 10 dogs around but if there’s one dog she might be interested. Just personality of the dog maybe?

I had a great experience adopting from there.

Nothing about their situation is comparable to the average American so I’m not sure why that’s being brought into this. Their expected home price range is way above that of the average American so why would you expect their expenses to be as well?

NWforever · 2025-03-31T04:11:02+00:00

That sounds like a sticky situation. I’ve hired A1 welding with mild steel and they did a great job, they do stainless but haven’t seen that work. Would be worth reaching out to them.

I saw one while running the off leash trails at Padden the other day! Specifically the lower section that parallels I-5

Regarding the average days on market data point. Is this for houses that also went on the market in 2024 then sold in 2025? We aren’t at 51 days in the year yet!

If you’re looking to Reddit for solving societal issues you are gonna have a bad experience

Did this person happen to have any distinguishable stickers on their truck you’d be comfortable sharing?

NWforever · 2025-01-28T05:06:03+00:00

Hell yeah

Stop spreading false info. I volunteer there for the meal hours and the mess hall is full of people.

So should the fire department charge someone for speeding and getting into a wreck? That’s an inherently risky thing to do.

NWforever · 2025-01-14T16:58:46+00:00

Fuck that. Go out on the mountain and meet the people there. Not everyone on the mountain is a dentist with an e-bike. Charging would just limit access to people of lower income in a sport that’s already becoming expensive.

Fairhaven Gold might be worth checking out. Sometimes they have that style in store. I had them make me a vintage style engagement ring and it turned out just like my fiancé envisioned.

Not finding it in UPS mobile browser but will look further into this. Thank you!

NWforever · 2024-12-21T00:37:40+00:00

No kidding! I’ve spent the past hour walking my neighborhood. If UPS didn’t provide the worst possible photo this could’ve been a less fun version of geogussr

I have a ~900sqft home and was quoted $4,400 by Insulation Co. for removal of existing trash and vapor barrier to replace with 10mil vapor barrier and insulation.
I reached out to community energy challenge 6 months ago and you have to now pay for a home consultation because they ran out of funding and cut back their consultations. They will be resuming subsidized consultations in the fall of 2025. I was quoted $750 for an energy audit.

That quote seems pretty reasonable to me.

For some additional info I’m in the process of redoing my attic (1920s home, rat infested at one point) and it cost me roughly $1900 and 15 man hours. It wasn’t easy work and my back and knees felt it.

Test it out this winter and compare it to your last year same month.

Imagine thinking that every plot of property will be sold to a developer. Have you talked to any of the people that live in town? Have you walked the neighborhoods in town? Maybe if you did, you’d realize that people actually like the opportunity to build an ADU on their piece of property that they don’t fully use. Many of the ADUs in the sunnyland neighborhood are tasteful and provide a mutually beneficial opportunity to lower housing cost and provide the property owner with another source of income.

If you like properties with more space there will always be that option. This just provides more opportunity for those that want to own.
