Bellingham Local Frequency: Trivia Nights, New Pizza Bar, and I-5 Delays

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, April 9th, 2026. We're starting the day with some exciting news about what's happening around our community. If you're looking for something to do tonight, we've got plenty of options for you. Several local breweries are hosting trivia nights this evening. Stones Throw Brewery on Larrabee Avenue is running their weekly trivia from seven to nine p.m., and if you prefer the craft beverage scene over on C Street, Beach Cat Brewing and Stemma West are also hosting trivia at six thirty p.m. It's a great way to spend your Thursday evening while supporting some of our local businesses. Speaking of local businesses, we're seeing some changes on the dining scene. A new Neapolitan pizza and cocktail bar called Pendino is coming to Bellingham's historic Herald Building. The project is being developed by Corey Silversmith, the founder of Makeworth Coffee, and it'll be taking over the former Starla's space. This is great news for folks looking for new dining options in our downtown area. Unfortunately, we're also dealing with some transportation challenges. If you're heading south on Interstate Five, be aware that crews are continuing to clear debris from a significant landslide. There's currently no timeline for when those northbound lanes will reopen, so plan your routes accordingly if you're traveling in that direction. On a community service note, our local Bellingham Mountain Rescue Council continues to do incredible work in our region. The volunteer rescue team responds to between forty and sixty calls every year, helping hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts who find themselves in remote areas of Whatcom County. It's a reminder of how important it is to be prepared when you're heading out into nature around here. Looking ahead to next month, if you're a beer enthusiast, mark your calendars for April 18th. That's when April Brews Day is happening at the Civic Stadium parking lot from three to eight p.m. We'll have craft beverages showcasing what our local breweries have to offer. Whether you're interested in trivia night, exploring new restaurants, or enjoying our beautiful outdoor spaces, there's plenty happening in Bellingham. Just remember to check road conditions if you're traveling south on I Five. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
