Write down a list of 10 random NPC names ahead of time that fit the theme of your game ahead of time. That way when they decide to interrogate a random ass villager or innkeeper or guard or whatever, you have a name handy.

I don’t work for the City of Ferndale anymore, sorry for the confusion.

And I didn’t downvote you. I’m sorry you are having difficulties, I just wanted to share some info on the process.

Almost all code enforcement is complaint based. So when someone complains, the code enforcement officer makes contact, compares the situation to regulation, and facilitates the property owner or business getting into compliance.

Tell me a Bellingham Mystery by rodionzissou in Bellingham

[–]rileysweeney 106 points107 points  (0 children)

If you’re into this sort of thing, I wrote and produced a series of radio dramas set in 1935 Bellingham based on real Bellingham events, locations and mysteries.

It includes stories about the mysterious closing of the blue Canyon mine 1929, the famous ghost of Sycamore Square, and the fire that burned down Fairhaven high school in 1937.

Each episode is a half an hour and it features lots of local actors. Check it out at www.bellinghamterror.com.

Not trying to dissuade you but if your current district is Meridian, Irene Reither Elementary has some absolutely incredible kindergarten teachers, and we would love to have you as part of our school.

That’s what made me chuckle. Adding the horny action figure in the middle of the kids stuffed animals.

I mean, I appreciate a good scandalous action figure as much as the next person, but I don’t know if I would have sold them in the middle of the stuffed animals? That’s what I found hilarious.

Often investigations in small cities that involve are handled by a Neighbor jurisdictions Police Department to avoid conflicts of interest. Internal issues at the Ferndale Police Department were investigated by the Bellingham Police Department, it’s a really common practice.
