"Seafeast, Farmers Markets, and Blimps: Bellingham's Vibrant Sunday Highlights"

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, September 28, 2025. It’s a beautiful Sunday in Bellingham, and at the top of today’s local highlights is the much-anticipated SeaFeast weekend happening right now down at Squalicum Harbor. Today is the last day to soak in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Bellingham’s iconic maritime celebration, which runs until 5 PM. If you haven’t been yet, picture music filling the salty air, the irresistible aroma of fresh local seafood, a vibrant beer and cider garden with waterfront views, hands-on experiences for all ages, and the extraordinary Lummi Nation Firepit Salmon—an open-fire barbecue you truly don’t want to miss. Admission is free, but if you’re feeling adventurous, check out the special boat tours, creative workshops, and behind-the-scenes industry tours to really immerse yourself in our salty heritage. Remember, parking near the harbor is only for seniors and those with disabilities, but WTA’s Waterfront Trolley Line 47 will ferry you there with ease all weekend. Elsewhere around town, Downtown Bellingham’s Farmer’s Market is open until 2 PM at Depot Market Square. Don’t miss your chance to pick up locally grown produce, artisan goods, and a hot coffee for a cozy stroll under classic Pacific Northwest skies. If you’re looking for kid-friendly activities, BelleWood Farms has its annual Harvest Festival until 3:30 this afternoon—apple picking and pumpkin patches abound, perfect for photos and family treats. Over at the Whatcom Museum, the FIG Studio and Artists Corner are welcoming kids and grownups alike for hands-on art making until 4:30, and the Marine Life Center on Roeder Avenue is open, inviting you for a free, close-up look at Bellingham Bay’s fascinating aquatic life. For those in a playful mood, both Park Bowl and the 20th Century Bowling Alley are rolling all afternoon, and if you’re up for a swim, the Arne Hanna Aquatic Center has open swim times throughout the day. Later on, you can cap off your evening with open skating at the Lynden Skateway running late into the night. In local news, authorities recently confirmed the identity of remains found near Leavenworth as Travis Decker, who was previously wanted in connection with a triple homicide. Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge. In more positive news, the N Lake Samish bridge has reopened, though Samish Park remains closed until the end of the year. If you’re traveling through Ferndale, expect I-5 closures for ramp repairs that might cause some southbound traffic, so plan accordingly. And finally, keep your eyes on the skies—locals caught a glimpse of the Goodyear Blimp drifting above western Whatcom County yesterday, adding a little extra excitement to the weekend. That wraps up your Sunday. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
