Did you know there is an underground organization in Bellingham. An organization preying on Bellingham residents emotions. An organization taking real life events and telling stories about them…stories to make you laugh. I found out last night that Bellingham Comedy is a thing. Obviously comedy in Bellingham is a thing, but there’s an organization called …

Free Live Local Music
KMRE listeners are used to listening to interesting varieties of music. I’ve listened at different times where I can hear a classic, a southern twangy song, then a local Bellingham band all within 30 minutes. This range, to me, keeps the KMRE radio station interesting, fun and full of discovery. Like KMRE, Bellingham bands have …
A Wednesday Farmers Market?
It happens over time, things change and if you looked back you wouldn’t even recognize things because of all of the changes. I think we can all agree that the waterfront looks substantially different than it did 5 years ago. I moved to Bellingham 13 years ago and I probably wouldn’t believe the amount of …
Sliding Into A New Park Experience
It’s Tuesday night and nothing sounds as fun as playing some extra large chess in the park followed by sliding down some slides. Where can you find a park with this type of combination? Well, currently, nowhere, but in a few months this is completely possible. Are you asking yourself where? Maritime Heritage Park is …
Rebel Art of Whatcom
Art is alive in Bellingham! No one was questioning that, but the variety and offerings of Whatcom artists are always surprising, impressive, and quintessentially creative. This can be seen everyday, on our streets, at our favorite coffee shops and at various events or galleries. One of the greatest options I’ve found for checking out some …
Looking Up Walking Tour, Episode 1
Do you ever think about how much time you spend just looking in front of you, flitting from one point to the next, like you are wearing blinders to your surroundings beyond what you have on your to do list? I feel that way all the time. I have found myself going from point A …
My Favorite Bellingham Spot
This week my involvement with KMRE was announced on Facebook and one of the things I stated was my favorite place in Bellingham is Larrabee State Park. I thought the perfect follow up from a statement like that is to write a little history about Larabee and follow it up with pictures. Hopefully you can …
Mural Mural on the Wall
A lot of my posts cover adventures into learning and my discoveries. Last week I learned about an area of Bellingham I had only admired, but knew truly nothing about, murals. They pop up all over town, the aesthetics are different. I wanted to know, where do they come from? How do they get there? …
Murder and Mystery in Fairhaven
We join Zoom meetings, we share google documents, we buy add ons to our tvs to have virtual happy hours with friends. All of these developments to make our lives more bearable during the COVID-19 pandemic. I think we can agree, we are Zoomed out. Previously, I wrote about the cancelling of Ski to Sea …
When things are rocky, rock out at the Big Rock Garden
On a daily basis the people of Bellingham go to work, some doing what they love and others just trying to get by in this beautiful big little city. Some find themselves here because of college and never left. In tough times like these, a global pandemic, a depressed job market and unsure times, anxiety …

The Great and Amazing Acid Ball
The best form of discovery is to ask questions. Something fascinating about Bellinghamsters is they always seem to be on a quest for answers. Have you ever seen someone stopped in front of a random sign? It happens all the time, the people of Bellingham want to know what is going on in their area …
