22 nights of I-5 lane closures are planned in northwest Washington in 2027

Expect work on Interstate 5 through Bellingham, Washington, over several nights next year, as the State Department of Transportation replaces entire concrete panels on the roadway. Working at night is safer for crews and creates fewer traffic problems, especially for a project of this scope, WSDOT officials said. Bellingham City Council members unanimously approved a waiver of overnight noise limits on Monday for the project, which is planned for 22 non-consecutive nights between March and December 2027. Work is planned at 10 locations on a two-mile stretch of freeway between Lakeway and Sunset drives. Mike Wilson, assistant director of the Public Works Department and head of its Engineering Division, told a City Council committee that the work is part of a program that stretches from Bellevue to the U.S.-Canada border. “There may be some closures on the interstate that could cause impacts to (city streets). We’ll know more about that as the project gets closer, but that is likely to be a part of the traffic-control plans,” Wilson said. Work locations include both sides of the freeway at Lakeway Drive, Meador Avenue, Alabama Street and East Sunset Drive. WSDOT air quality and acoustics specialist Ben Bloom told Bellingham officials that

Man arrested following alleged armed robbery, knife assault in Bellingham

Bellingham police arrested a 31-year-old man Monday after he allegedly assaulted and robbed a person near the waterfront skate park. Bellingham Police Department Lt. Claudia Murphy said an individual left their makeshift shelter for a few minutes, and shortly after arriving back, a man started to scatter their belongings and ripped their sleeping bag from them. The man also jumped on the wooden sides of the lean-to style shelter; his foot broke through, hitting the other person in the head. Murphy said the 31-year-old slashed at the victim with a pocketknife as they tried to crawl away, cutting the back of their hand and stabbing them in the forehead, causing a small cut. He then ripped a ring off their finger. A witness told the man that he was calling 911, though they only pretended to do so, and the man fled the area. The victim, who did not have a phone, flagged down a patrol car at about 2:50 p.m. and explained what happened. They also described the 31-year-old, who was spotted by an officer near the skate park while he investigated. The man admitted to the robbery and having a knife in his backpack, according to Murphy.
