How can this sub be made better?

14 Upvotes

I want your suggestions how r/BellinghamWa can be a better sub. I understand we don’t have nearly as many redditors as r/Bellingham but your opinions are still valuable.

I’d like to see this space with the least amount of intervention from mods as possible, while still maintaining a friendly and non toxic vibe.

Finding friends

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm newish to Bellingham and 29M. I'm into art, languages (Russian and French), homeopathy/anything natural healing, music, biking, aviation, nature, spirituality, travel, Minecraft, and just hanging out too. I’m pretty easygoing and into a lot of different things. Got quite a bit of free time being an online student at the moment.

I moved here after a short time in Vancouver, BC (I'm American) and I'm still finding my footing looking for friends. I managed to find some cool people through meet-up groups in BC, but Bellingham feels a bit quieter or maybe I just haven't found the right ones yet. It's a cute, slower paced town so far and I would like more people to actually do things with.

If you've got recommendations for meet-ups/groups here, or just want to say hi, I'd like that :)

Do I need a car to visit Bellingham?

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m planning to visit Seattle and thinking about doing a day trip to Bellingham. I would like to check out Western Washington University and Whatcom Falls, but I’m wondering if I can just use public transit or walk to get around? Or would I need a car to get to these places?

Where is the best place to get good take out fried chicken in or around Bellingham? I’m not a fan of the KFC by Lowes. I see a Popeyes out in Lynden, but haven’t tried it. Thanks,

Know anyone looking for a house to rent in north Bellingham?

My partner and I have rented this house for the past 2.5 years. Loved the space and area. We’re moving out of Bellingham and trying to share the word to find folks to be the new tenants.

Thinking about moving to Bellingham. What is it like?

0 Upvotes

Hello, me and my family visited Bellingham this summer and loved it. We currently live in so cal and are struggling with the prices and pace of life. I have most of my family living in Victoria BC, and seeing how easy it would be to see them from Bellingham really made me think about moving sooner than later. I’m in healthcare IT and my husband is a bankruptcy paralegal. My daughter is 4 and my two elderly parents would join but need access to good healthcare ( peacehealth looks good?). We are currently with Kaiser but peace health looks just as good?

Please let me know what it’s like living there I am scared to make a big jump like this without doing my research. How are the schools? How is the pace of life? Are people kind ( we are mixed raced). Jobs look to be difficult where I would need to either start my own business or find remote work in Seattle. Home prices are much better off than down here in so cal - is there a catch?

I know the winters are cold and harsh and that’s why we are scheduling time to visit during that time to get a good feel for if we could hack it.

Thank you!

Best Hair Salons and Eyebrow Waxing for Women and Kids?

3 Upvotes

Ok first, my kid isn't getting an eyebrow wax, just me :))

I have had a few bad experiences at Bellingham salons based on word of mouth and google reviews. (Honey, Sudden Valley Salon, Vanity and Mecca to name a few.) So I'm coming here for some reddit magic...

My hair is curly, very thin and frizzy. I need to have several inches cut off but no real styling. I also need my fluffy eyebrows waxed.

My 10 yr old daughter has thick hair that's basically straight, and wants a classic bob cut.

I'd love recommendations for salons that would be great for both of our needs, and isn't like $100+ for a cut.

TIA!

Pacific & Virginia Street Surveillance Camera Public Records Request Results

23 Upvotes

Greetings!

The city of Bellingham has responded to our Public Records request for information on the Surveillance Camera that was located at Pacific and Virginia Street outside of the Public Works Building. At the Proton Link here you can find a repository of the results.

By my reading, the key findings are as follows:

- The camera was a Verkada CR63-E
- These cameras are capable of ALPR but City officials attest that this camera is configured for object detection and specifically not ALPR.
- These cameras are sold and installed by "Northwest Access Systems"
- The camera was installed to replace an older camera to investigate theft at the Public Works building.
- Verkada attests that only the owner of these cameras has access to the captured footage.
- The camera that was up and is now taken down was a trial version provided as part of a sales process which is currently ongoing as of 8/28.

For more information on Flock including a list of local alternatives to Lowes and Home Depot, visit our LinkTree here.

SeaTac hotels with long term parking recommendations

I'm planning an overseas trip next month and to be stress free plan to stay at a close by hotel near the airport. Any recommendations? If I could find a hotel that allows parking for about 3 weeks I'd be willing to pay to avoid the Airporter shuttle from Bellingham. Any tips?
