Bellingham, Washington — a city where the Salish Sea whispers against the shore, where the old brick of Fairhaven leans into the wind, where students, artists, and old-timers mingle in the shadow of Mount Baker. Here, the streets are stitched with murals and laughter, the air scented with coffee and salt, and every block hums with the stories of those who never left and those who found their way back.

Whatcom Museum to tighten budget with new admission prices, gift shop closure

Admission prices will be rising next year at the Whatcom Museum , and its gift shop will be closing as the museum works to balance its 2027 budget. In addition, the museum will be adding extra hours Thursday nights, museum executive director Jessica Borusky said Monday as she discussed the upcoming changes during a presentation about the city’s 2027 budget. No specifics regarding extra hours and price increases were immediately available. The museum store’s last day will be Dec. 30, museum spokeswoman Adrienne Dawson told The Bellingham Herald in an email. “That was due to about a $100,000 drain on the budget for multiple years. If we actually do nothing with the (museum store), it significantly helps our budget,” Borusky told the City Council on Monday. Staffing and inventory costs are high at the store, which sells books, art, jewelry, souvenirs, locally produced goods and items related to current exhibitions, she said. Whatcom Museum’s gift shop is in its Lightcatcher building at 250 Flora St. Financial pressures have forced museum shops to close at galleries in New York, Philadelphia, Santa Barbara and other cities around the U.S., according to media reports. “We’re very much in line with how museums are

Rising mountain biking star Chloe Bear refuses to slow down

Ankle sprain on the eve of Italy event is tough blow, but she views it as just another lesson. Last month, Bellingham resident Chloe Bear, 19, reached Finale Ligure, Italy, to compete in the 2026 mountain bike enduro world championships. She had spent months preparing for what would be a challenging competition. However, her hopes of racing were cut short when she suffered an ankle sprain on one of her training days.
