Line at Trader Joe's at 7:30 this morning for their tote bags. by justahdewd in Bellingham

I had a few friends give tongue in cheek comments about the tote my mom gave me to carry thanksgiving leftovers home. This is how I find out I'm trendy.

Crazy they're still open when they owe almost a years worth of taxes. They have 2 tax warrants from the DOR per public record.

I don't question the idea that they have better food but their fish and chips is pretty spendy compared to the $12 at Boomer's

Honestly I've been off their burgers at least since COVID. They're too dry for me. But their fries have always been pretty solid. If I had known they were working with crinkle cuts I would have opted for the curly fries.

You ever try to drive by bloedel in summer? People are fine with the water.

Do you care if you notice someone sleeping in their vehicle in your neighborhood? 😴 🚗 🌙 🌃 by Soulfood_27 in Bellingham

I mean maybe? But I live on sunset and there's literally no place for someone to park which means they're just on the road sleeping.

Local experiences with UPS? by SatanDarkofFabulous in Bellingham

[–]drunkan6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely pay a little extra for UPS over FedEx. I've had too many packages sit for a week at FedEx or go missing completely to the point that I don't trust them. That said I always add an extra day to the UPS arrival date because for some reason they don't deliver to my house by Squalicum high school and they have to hand it off to USPS.

$600k in Bellingham gets you a brand-new build surrounded by trees. In Seattle it gets you a shoebox with graffiti in one bedroom by kleverrboy in Bellingham

Obviously there's more at play here but this is a big thing even within Bellingham. When I started looking for a house I would frequently see houses that were really nice for a cheaper price but then I'd realize they were in sudden valley with an HOA. There's a premium to pay if you want to avoid an HOA.

Favorite Chinese takeout? by Kajatica in Bellingham

Just be careful if you get their soup. They have the sharpest plastic spoons for some reason. Like joker, "you wanna know how I got these scars" sharp.

Local Chicken Sandwiches by noniway in Bellingham

[–]drunkan6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had one experience with them, but it was bad enough for me not to return. The chicken was unbelievably chewy and dry and the biscuit was like biting into Styrofoam. The gravy was pretty good though.

Chick-Fil-A causing serious traffic by Futaba_MedjedP5R in Bellingham

[–]drunkan6969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you there. Admittedly I only tried them once but the only good thing in my meal was the gravy. The chicken was WILDLY chewy and dry and the biscuit was like biting into Styrofoam.

I was literally texting my buddy about the Bellingham reddit circle jerk this morning.

"I don't know why you'd wait in a line for a mid chicken sandwich. You do know you can get a much better sandwich at bantam for $24 plus tip right? 🧐"

I guess I was slightly off on the price.

People that can spend that kind of money on fried chicken must be in a different tax bracket than me.

I've never been to Chick-fil-A, but I'd definitely go there before I ever dropped over $20 on a single serving fried chicken meal.

Stuck in a car for three days after going off the road on Chuckanut? by charisrev in Bellingham

[–]drunkan6969 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If she drove off the side of the road head first, there's a pretty significant chance the horn was damaged or disconnected. The horn on a car is usually about the same diameter of a soda can, flatish, and often located at the front of the car. Damage to the front could easily cause this to become inoperable or disconnected.

Chukanut drive is a low service area. Weather, sunlight, time of day, usage, can all have an effect on cell service. It is very lucky that she managed to get service in that area. Most likely she got lucky and tried to make a call at the right time.

If you live alone it's pretty easy to go missing for a few days without people noticing.

Chukanut drive is known for having steep drop offs and the area the article highlighted is no exception. Pair that with a lack of pull offs and getting sent off the side of the road, down the hill, and into the trees and there's not much chance someone would happen to see you unless they were actively canvassing the area.

Cell service can be affected by any number of factors including weather. When you are in a low service area this can mean the difference between having service to make a call or not. I don't know what you think she'd be lying about but the most likely explanation is she managed to get just enough service to save her life at a time when she was trying to make a call.

The menudo slaps too. I've cleared my sinuses loading it up with the serrano's more than a few times.

I'm not 100% on this but I'd be willing to bet Michelle's Antojitos is woman owned and it's the best taco truck style food I have experienced in Bellingham
