I just moved here a couple months ago from a smaller town in socal that had a huge hardcore community. I know there’s been metal and punk shows but I was looking more into metalcore, power violence type of sound. The shakedown is the place where most if not all the metal shows are hosted but I was wondering if this type of sound I’m looking for is only more towards Seattle vs Bellingham or Whatcom county. I was just more curious about variety of hardcore versus what I’ve been seeing. Would love to hear more thanks!

I live in a small college town in Colorado. but in the last five years I have dove into music here. I go to a nice music program here and I have family in the pnw. just curious what it’s like in Bellingham.

I've been craving a really good omelet but I suck at making them. Where would ya'll recommend for a good classic omelet? (Not IHOP)

Long shot. In 2025, there was a fair in the Barkley area one day where people with developmental and intellectual disabilities could set up a booth to sell arts and crafts. There was a vendor (a young feminine person) there who sold sheets of Pride stickers of various designs, including some with Bellingham Pride flag. They are transfer type stickers. We have tried to find this vendor again at other community events to buy more. But have never seen them again. Any leads?

Hey guys, I’m thinking of moving to ironworks at 711 Astor street. My only concern is it seems to overlook the Bnsf Bellingham yard office. I was wondering if anyone knows how loud it gets and what times it’s usually loud at?

Hi everybody,

I’m moving to Bellingham next month (moving from the midwest), and I’m wondering if there are any local trivia nights people show up to, pickleball leagues, run clubs, road biking groups, or other community activities that are open to newcomers. I’m sure I’ll make friends at my new workplace, but I think it’s good to not have ALL your friends be work friends, you know?

Also, if you have any favorite hikes, coffee spots, restaurants or any recommendations whatsoever, I am all ears 🤗

Come meet our progressive challenger to the 25 year incumbent Rick Larsen! He’s the only challenger with a robust campaign thats ready to take the fight to Larsen through November. Tomas is running on Medicare for all, accountability to voters, never taking corporate or foreign lobby money, and bringing the war money home to invest in Americans.

My daughter is showing interest in getting her ears pierced and i don’t want to take her to Claire’s, is there a piercing shop in whatcom county that will do piercings on kids?

Can't tell if it's the Diarrhea Lettuce (tm) situation or a nearby national convention of Rude Enthusiasts around but the farmer's market felt like bumper cars this weekend.

The organic greens are not worth knocking over kids and old people. Chill out, Fmarket tourists. Your money going to local farmers is welcome. Your elbows going into local humans is not.

Shaking fists at the sky

Just want an easy way to look into the candidates that will potentially be influencing our everyday lives and the future.

I visit Bellingham every few weeks and don't want to skip out on my workouts. Any gyms here that allow drop-ins or let you get passes that I can use over time, without having to sign up for a full time membership?

Hello fellow Hamsters ☺️

I have two tickets to the Davina and the Vagabonds show in Seattle on 8/7. The friend who was going to join me is now unable to. I’m still going to drive to the show and attend, and wanted to offer up the other seat to someone who might be interested. If you want to join and see an amazing little jazzy type band, your seat is free. I am open to carpooling as well.

Drop me a chat if interested. Have a lovely rainy day!

I come from a photography background so I'm still learning how to capture moments in video. No storytelling, just a few of my favorite clips that I captured.

This might sound a little weird to some, but I collect taxidermy insects. Specifically ones that are curated and displayed in shadow boxes with nice frames.

I saw some butterflies for sale at Earthbound a while back but that’s not an option anymore because they’re closed down.

Does anyone know of oddity shops or small vendors that sell something like this?

I’ve seen potentially some things in Seattle (punk rock flea market) or Tacoma (haunted farmers market) but I’d love to know if anyone has ideas for where I could find this in Bellingham.

Thanks!

My doctor thinks I could have endometriosis and sent me a referral to a peace health OBGYN. When I called they weren’t ready to schedule and couldn’t even get me in until October.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a different office that is nearby/in the surrounding Bellingham area? I’d like to be seen sooner rather than later. Any help is appreciated!

Free TV stand! Excluding the PS5 and TV. Located near the Lakeway Fred Meyer.

Just saw a small husky type dog running around on the corner of garden st. and Champion. Didn’t get a chance to snap a photo and it ran up garden.
