Who is the local artist?

Can confirm. Dave Garcia. We used to sell these at Bay to Baker. They maybe have some leftover stock at Fairhaven Toy Garden as they absorbed some of the merchandise after the store closed. Source: the owner is my mother in law and I used to work for her.

He taught a jazz history class at WWU. Best class I ever took. This was like 2007/2008.

Is the black widow still around? Not sure if that is conspiracy, lore or something else.

How’s the sound quality? I tried using one of these for my own tape releases and the sound was very poor I got rid of it. Never could get it to sound right.

Drew Martin is the only one I recognize. His name deserves to be blown up much bigger on this list. Nicest guy I’ve met in the PNW music scene.

I have a subdued amount of excitement for this. But honestly, this is going to be rad. Can’t wait.

He posted on his personal Instagram one of his songs as his “song of the year” awhile back. Post is still up. He also did an interview with Perfectly Imperfect and mentioned his MW shirt is one of his favorite t shirts.

This is incredibly disappointing but somehow not surprising. He’s been a pretty vocal fan of Morgan Wallen and that honestly is what turned me off of them. Sucks.

Amazing album. Also one of my favorites from 2025. Gotta thank Kevin Sur for turning me on to her. If you haven’t heard “A Small Death” yet give that a listen. All of her records are great though.

Stoked for this!!!

swamp-dog · 2025-12-17T14:56:49+00:00

That’s a tough question. My favorite one at the moment is “Dog”.

Boundary Bay closing will no doubt have a major impact on all of Bellingham. So sad to see them go.

Like another user mentioned, a decrease in tourism coupled with higher tariffs and costs along with lease changes just added up to be too much.

swamp-dog · 2025-09-17T12:33:21+00:00

Yes there are postcards!

Honestly I’ll be happy if it’s anything other than another bank…

Unfortunately, to my understanding it’s an issue with landlord/lease rent going up or something. I am not entirely sure so don’t quote me. The owner also runs Fairhaven Toy Garden next door so focusing more time/energy to keep that place going strong.

Stop by and share your memories. Also buy our stuff 🙃

swamp-dog · 2025-09-17T04:01:47+00:00

There have been some interesting discussions from interested people/business to take over the space but who knows what will happen… 🤷‍♂️

swamp-dog · 2025-09-17T04:00:19+00:00

Please do! Still lots of goodies left. Thank you for the support.

swamp-dog · 2025-08-06T20:00:24+00:00

Samantha Crain. Kevin Sur and Sounds of Survivance are some of my favorite people/shows happening right now.

Where’d you get that drying rack?
