Bellingham Local Frequency: Arts, Safety Updates, and Community Events for March 12th

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, March 12th. We're starting our day with some exciting cultural events happening right here in Bellingham. If you're looking to get out and support local creativity, the Western Washington Community College Student Art Show titled "By the Books" is running all day today from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon. It's a great opportunity to see what our student artists have been working on. Later this evening, if you're interested in honing your writing skills, Village Books and Paper Dreams is hosting a Drop-In Writing Group for Fiction from six to eight o'clock at their location on 11th Street. It's a wonderful way to connect with other writers in our community. In other news from this week, Ferndale Police responded to a serious incident on Tuesday morning when a man accidentally shot himself while removing his weapon from its holster near Portal Way. The incident occurred around ten forty in the morning, and local businesses in the area were placed on lockdown while officers handled the situation. The man was transported to PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham for treatment. Thankfully, there were no other injuries reported. For those of you keeping track of local governance, the City of Bellingham is hosting a Community Development Advisory Board meeting tonight from six to eight o'clock at City Hall on Lottie Street. If you're interested in municipal development projects, this is your chance to stay informed about what's happening in our city. Looking ahead to next week, the City of Bellingham is planning something new called the Ask Us Anything forum series. The first one takes place next Wednesday, March 18th, at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal. Mayor Kim Lund and her staff will be on hand to answer your questions about current city projects and top priorities. Refreshments will be served starting before the main event, which runs from six to seven in the evening. If you're a water user in the WRIA 1 area, there's an important administrative update. The Whatcom County Superior Court has extended the deadline for filing water adjudication claim forms to June 1st, 2027. If you need help completing your claim form, free community workshops are available, and you can call the Adjudication Hotline at 360-778-6314. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
