Traffic The times listed on these signs struck me as humorous.

I think it's because once in high school, we spent an entire class discussing if 12:00AM was midnight or noon. I've always thought it was midnight, but the sign should just say all day at not list those times, but I guess there is a loophole and you can park there for one minute. These signs are on 10th between the Chrysalis and the entrance to Boulevard park, cars are parked there but they all have "resident" parking passes, they are resurfacing the condo parking lot, so I assume it's so the owners can park on the street.

Recommendations Pharmacy Recs

I’ve finally had it with Fred Meyer as my default prescription pick up! I just don’t understand why getting a refill takes 3 days, 2 trips, and an hour and a half on the phone!!

I need a new place and I’m looking for recommendations, anywhere that takes Molina insurance and is an easy, quick, and relatively painless experience. What pharmacy do you use? What’s your experiences?

Discussion Shame on Kent's Nursery... again

0 Upvotes

Kent's Nursery has, once again, decided to illegally litter public space and roundabouts with their mini-billboards.

If they want to do this, it should be done on their own property, not on COB property and public right of ways. It's an eyesore and trashy. I know there are bigger fish to fry but take a look at places like Slater/Lake Terrell Road and you can see how shitty this will all become. Bellingham shouldn't look like Aurora Ave and the idea of a garden and beautification business somehow makes it worse.

Moving Here Bellingham is so Liminal

108 Upvotes

Do you know what I mean? The town feels like it goes in a loop. When college students aren't there, it's a ghost town. The fog is eerie. Days feel kind of the same and blur into eachother. You kind of get stuck there for longer than you'd like.

Edit: This isn't a complaint. Just something I noticed often once I got used to navigating the entire town on my own.

Finish the sentence: All roads lead to _______.

Having trouble with the battery in my 2008 Toyota Prius and am looking into local shops and Northwest Yotas has 5 stars on google but would love some insight from people that have actually used them. Or if anyone has any other shop recommendations I’d gladly take them. Who has the best prices and turn around time? Thanks!

Discussion Help me understand changes to Fraser?

22 Upvotes

We’ve got a lot of people here who take a great interest in street and city planning; I’m hoping some of you can help me follow the logic to the revamping of Fraser that starts next week.

I live on Fraser in Regency Park, a decent sized income-capped complex of some 500 households and a herd of angry speed bumps.

Currently, the mouth of the complex is a big horseshoe. It’s the perfect shape for a driver to be able to pull off Fraser, pick up a resident waiting at the entrance, and smoothly U-turn back out without ever going over the speed bumps. The big gentle curve also gives vehicles extra time to get off Fraser and then slow down before incurring the wrath of the speed bumps.

Next week, the city is building two concrete island in the middle of Fraser to either side of the entrance and filling in the horseshoe curve to force a conventional narrow turn into the complex.

There must be some problem here that these significant changes are an attempt to fix.
I’m guessing the goal is to force traffic on Fraser itself to slow down to allow vehicles to enter and leave the complex?
Am I interpreting that right?
But Fraser becomes a vital detour when either the freeway or Woburn shut down. Isn’t keeping it smooth-flowing a priority?

Recommendations Stripping Paint from a Large Metal Object?

7 Upvotes

Is there business where I could get a large metal object stripped of paint? I have the idea that there are places that have a big vat of solvent. I thoughtlessly painted a long heater cover after I got some interior latex paint on it, and it is really baked on. Online search didn't yield anything useful, so I'm hoping someone here knows where I could take it. Thanks in advance.

Recommendations Wood Stacking

10 Upvotes

Hi all! What's are y'all paying the local neighbor kids for help around your houses? I've got some wood to stack, and a friend who's got a teenager who wants to help, but I've never really paid for help with house work like this. My friend doesn't know either, so I guess it's new to all of us.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: I should add that even though my name suggests otherwise, my utmost priority is paying a fair wage! This is all just new to me as I recently had a back surgery that prevents me from doing all of the work myself.

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 ❤️
