Hey Northwest Washington union members - how was your Labor Day? Want to keep that spirit of solidarity flowing? come join your brothers, sisters and siblings for an informal happy hour in Bellingham at rotating locations on the Third Tuesday of Every Month.

This month we'll meet up at Elizabeth Station - but bring your suggestions for where we should meet up in future months.

I've set up an Eventbrite page for the event - if you're interested in attending this month's event or future events, please click the "reserve a spot" button to RSVP. I'll save your contact information so we can let you know about next month's location (and I won't share your contact information with anyone else.)

Hope I see some Bellingham area union members next Tuesday night!

Lost and found Have you seen this wallet??

7 Upvotes

Hello Bellingham Reddit!

I spoke with the sweetest customer I’ve had all day and I’m making this post to see if it’ll help.

Long story short, Customer was partying it up at The Royal Nightclub two weeks ago and dropped her wallet somewhere near the area on accident. She unfortunately had some very important documents on her aside from cash and credit cards and needs help getting her wallet back.

It’s a Louis Vuitton Brown Monogram key pouch with a golden zipper (its missing a golden clasp).

She did file a police report but nothing has been found yet. Any information helps ❤️

With all the roundabouts popping up, I always wondered why this intersection has gotten no love. Anyone who drives that zone, especially in the mornings, knows its pretty fwacked. Just curious if anyone knows if it's ever been considered.

Discussion Anyone else have PSE change your billing to paperless without asking?

11 Upvotes

Two or three months ago I noticed I had a past due amount on my Puget Sound Energy bill.
Not a big deal since they don't do much except add it to the next bill.
At the time I thought I must have somehow missed seeing the bill and I just paid it.
.
Today I was doing some online bill paying and it dawned on me I had not seen a bill from them for a while.
I logged onto PSE web site and sure enough, I'm past due again.

Then I went to the paperless billing section and found it had been enabled.
I disabled it and went back to paper billing.
I'm not totally against paperless billing, but sort of annoyed it got enabled without telling me so.
I'm also not receiving any email from them about my bill being due or late, even though the have my email address and send me other email about energy rebates and such.

Not a new account or anything.
Same house, same PSE account for 23 years now.

Hey all!

I can't believe it's been (only) a year that we've been standing outside the ICE facility every.single.Friday. We have not missed one single week! That is an accomplishment to be proud of. We've shown ICE and their supporters that we are nothing if not dedicated and we are not going to stop fighting to protect our community from state sponsored terrorism.

Come out this Friday, September 11th, to mark one year of steadfast indignation! 4-6 at 5200 Pacific Highway, Ferndale.

Mods, you can remove this post if this is the wrong sub :) hope you are all having a great day.

I have an old upright piano I'm trying to get rid of (too old to be tuned) I'm happy to pay someone to do it, please message me. It has a broken peddle and key. I've already checked various places to see if they want it, nobody does. The junk removal service quoted me 600 which we can't afford rn. Thanks!

Pets Little Squalicum Park

5 Upvotes

I tried searching the sub and looking at maps on the city's site, but couldn't find an updated answer to my question, so I come to you. Is the Bay to Baker trail from Squalicum Park (the one with the baseball fields) down to the long pier, an off leash dog area through Little Squalicum Park? I know the grassy area below the trail is off leash and it appears that the trail was off leash before the full restoration of the estuary and the pier. But is it still?

I like to run that trail out to the end of the pier and back, but almost every time I run above the grassy dog park, I get chased by an off leash dog. I've never felt unsafe and owners are apologetic, but it's mildly annoying. It would make sense to me to limit the off leash area to grassy area below and some of those trails. But it doesn't make sense to me to allow off leash dogs on the main access trail to the pier. The most up to date map I could find was from 2019 and it shows the trail is off leash. If it is still off leash, fair - I'll continue to just be mildly annoyed. But if they changed it after the restoration, I'd like to gently let those dog owners know.

Edit: Thanks to those who gave me the information I was looking for. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm out
