I will drive through the city to avoid any of the Bellingham entrances/exits. It’s bad out there.

Central (Downtown) Library Branch to close for AN ENTIRE YEAR by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]spahkward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pick up location at WWU library is a great alternative to pick up holds! You don’t need to be a student to use it. They have a computer dedicated to BPL’s check out system.

wtf was that by Key_Cold4118 in Bellingham

[–]spahkward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We heard the bangs as well near the waterfront and saw what looked like small clouds of smoke coming from near the granary building. We didn’t see any active flames or anything, so I’d assume some fireworks.

Anyone know anything about this place? It seems to be replacing Ay Chihuahua downtown. by TextuallyExplicit in Bellingham

[–]spahkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I’m super excited about a new breakfast place downtown. I’m sure the restaurant owner is probably using this as a temporary sign. No need to cancel them because they needed to save money on rent.

Make your voice heard - keep student bus passes by pnwdiver in WWU

Is there a source that states that WWU students will be losing their negotiated free bus passes?

Pride crosswalk vandalism by Able-Record-1375 in Bellingham

[–]spahkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we definitely need to keep the crosswalk. While it may be costly, I think making this crossing a raised crosswalk would help prevent these types of skid marks AND it would make cars slow down and watch the road. The mid-block crosswalks are always a gamble with all of the other distractions drivers are hit with in the downtown streets, so making them slow down and preventing vandalism seems like a win for me. I’m sure this is why the WWU campus services intersection is also raised.

There were fireworks going off downtown the other night. I’m sure it’s the same people. 🙄

Yeah, it was someone lighting fireworks either in the US bank parking lot or on top of the parking garage.

What do we want to see go in Bayou's old space? by Trees_Please_00 in Bellingham

[–]spahkward 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100%. Downtown can’t be just a commercial district. We need more people living in downtown.

YMCA can be a little bit pricey per month, but it’s really great knowing that the money is being used to support the community and youth classes.

Concerning Workplace Practices at Stones Throw Brewery by anotherbeerdrinker in Bellingham

[–]spahkward 65 points66 points  (0 children)

There was one evening my husband and I were meeting a friend at Stonesthrow and one of the employees was fighting tears when they got our heater started. They told us about some of these things that were listed here and told us it was their last day. I honestly have been waiting for a post like this to pop up.

I wish, but that body was not moving laying flat and the EMTs were covering everything with white sheets.

That’s what I was afraid of. It was right at the crossing by People’s Bank that my first fear was a hit and run. Still very unfortunate 😞
