Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, November 9, 2025. It’s a crisp fall morning in the Pacific Northwest, so let’s jump right in to what’s happening around our beautiful city today and throughout this week.
If you’re headed out, start your Sunday right at the Hotel Leo for their jazz brunch, which runs until 2 this afternoon—an ideal spot to fuel up with great food and live tunes. Right downtown, you can catch the last day of Bellingham Illuminations, where Whatcom Art Center’s halls are glowing with inventive local artwork, giving you a dose of creativity and warmth as the days get shorter. Over at the Meloy Gallery, Joe Reno’s “Floral to Comos” paintings are on display for those looking to get inspired by some color.
The Bellingham Farmers Market is open at Depot Market Square until mid-afternoon, bustling with local produce, crafts, and specialty goods—an excellent way to support your neighbors, discover tasty treats, and pick up a few early gifts. If hands-on learning is your thing, consider the Pine Needle Basketry workshop at Chuckanut Center this afternoon. You’ll be guided through traditional weaving techniques and leave with your own foraged creation—perfect for crafty souls and curious kids.
Feeling the itch to perform or ready to showcase your musical chops? Aslan Brewing Co. hosts Open Mic Night from 7 to 10 tonight. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just want to enjoy local talent with a fresh pint, it’s a lively, welcoming gathering at the Depot.
For families, Maritime Heritage Park offers nature walks and hands-on activities. Head to Cordata Place or browse the Creative Corner Artisan Market for more family-friendly fun, featuring crafts and music that bring together folks of all ages. Over on Lummi Island, the holiday art tour is happening today, giving visitors a chance to explore stunning pieces in a gorgeous setting—always a treat before the holiday rush begins.
Sports enthusiasts can cheer on Western Washington University’s hockey team, who are racking up action at the Bellingham Sportsplex this weekend. And for history buffs or those who love a good spooky story, tonight’s Fairhaven Ghost Tour is the perfect walk through Bellingham’s shadowy past—just bring a jacket for the chill.
As a quick traffic note, all northbound lanes on a major route were briefly blocked earlier this week after a semi-truck crash. Crews responded quickly, and thoroughfares are clear this morning. At the airport, ongoing federal disruptions may impact flights and travel plans—if you’re heading to Canada or beyond, best check with your carrier before heading out.
Looking ahead, tomorrow there’s community dancing at The Majestic Ballroom and the first general meeting of the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club at Backcountry Essentials, for those already dreaming of snowy trails.
That wraps up today’s pulse of Bellingham: from arts and adventure, to family-friendly activities and community spirit. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
