Bellingham Local Frequency: March 8th - Basketball Champions and Community Sunday

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, March 8th. What a perfect weekend to cheer on our Whatcom County basketball stars wrapping up their state tournament runs yesterday in Yakima and Spokane. The top-seeded Lynden girls dominated their way to a potential third straight 2A title, knocking off the second, third, and fourth seeds with junior Finley Parcher dropping 21 points and 22 rebounds in the semis alone, chasing that 75th straight win under coach Rob Adams. Over in 1A, the second-seeded Lynden Christian boys staged a halftime comeback to reach the championship against Zillah, giving coach Tim Zylstra a shot at his third title in five years. And dont miss the Lummi Nation boys, top seeds in 1B, facing rivals Tulalip Heritage for the fifth time this season in Spokane, with coach Jerome Toby eyeing back-to-back crowns in his son Jerome Toby Jrs final game as the Blackhawks all-time scoring leader. The Lynden Christian girls fought for bronze earlier today, while Lummi girls played for fourth place this morning tune in to KPUG or KGMI for recaps, as these victories could spark community pride and pack local gyms with even more excitement next season. Shifting to today, kick off with the North Cascades Audubon Societys Second Sunday Birding at Little Squalicum Estuary from 9 to 11 am, a great chance to spot early migrants and connect with nature right here in Bellingham, helping protect our local wildlife one sighting at a time. Families and friends can head to the Free Community Meal at First Christian Church on East Bakerview from 2 to 4 pm, enjoying hearty chili, cornbread, dessert, and drinks no cost, just good company strengthening neighborhood bonds on this second Sunday of the month. Craft beverage fans, todays Petals and Pour Spring Paint and Sip at Hotel Bellwether runs 1 to 3 pm, blending creativity with sips amid our 20-plus local breweries that make Whatcom a destination, as travel guru Rick Steves recently highlighted with his farm-to-bottle tours. Unwind later with Slow Flow Mindful Yoga at Beach Cat Brewings South Paw at 6 pm, pairing gentle movement with craft vibes to ease Sundays end. Border crossers, Peace Arch waits stayed under five minutes early this morning, smooth sailing for Vancouver day trips. Keep an eye on Bellis Fair, where Forever 21 is closing amid bankruptcy, shifting shopping habits toward our indie spots. No major winds here, unlike eastern Washingtons advisory.
