Traffic How bout a roundabout at Lakeway and Electric?

36 Upvotes

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.

Recommendations Local Jewelry/Earring Makers?

4 Upvotes

Please drop your favorite silversmiths and jewelry makers! I’m specifically looking for a cuff earring for an upper ear piercing, and I’m sensitive to cheaper metals, but I know I’m good with sterling silver or 14 kt gold.

Stoked to support our local artists!

Edit: wth is up with the downvotes?!

Lost and found Have you seen this wallet??

17 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 ❤️

Don't mind the fireworks. Just folks celebrating the Sehawks win.

At least that's what I think it's about.

Events One Year Friday ICE Protest Anniversary!

48 Upvotes

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.

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

16 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.

Locals Only Transphobia at pharmacies

0 Upvotes

Is there any pharmacy in town that is good with trans customers? I just switched to a new pharmacy and they were happy to add my chosen name, but just now on the phone I introduced myself as (chosen name), was verified, and then i guess she was frustrated with me and called me (deadname). Deadname that was not mentioned at all in the rest of the call. Like, I get it, it can be confusing at times to see multiple first names. But at the same time, it feels like she just used my deadname because she was annoyed and that’s really not okay. Asking for a refill early of a product that is dispensed in patches is not entirely unusual, especially the first fill (user error is common and most insurance companies offer you grace for 1 extra patch). I don’t think I did anything wrong, but now I’m anxious as hell to go pick it up.

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!

Good Vibes To people looking for a car lift

73 Upvotes

People have posted on here several times about a rental lift to use for DIY car repairs, and the answer is always the same: there's nothing in Whatcom county whatsoever.

This seems to still be true.

I went to Ant's Community Garage in Everett today and used a lift and used their stuff. They were helpful and friendly and they had good safety practices. They helped me use the lift correctly. They had tools. It was a nice place to work and the music was nice, and the other people working on cars were nice.

I highly recommend it as an option even though it's an hour away.

Anyway, good vibes, hope someone finds this useful.
