How nice of this #WestJet #737 to dump its fuel at low altitude over #WhatcomCounty instead of on the #BritishColumbia side of the border. https://whatcom-news.com/boeing-737-circling-over-whatcom-county-was-an-unusual-sight_214299/ #FlightAware #YVR #BellinghamWA #WhatcomNews #Canada #VancouverBC

"We must address causes of over-incarceration before sizing a jail. Just 20 miles north across the border, the incarceration rate — and cost — in British Columbia is a fifth of ours, with better outcomes. Whatcom’s rate is also 65% higher than King County, 82% higher than Vermont, and twice Rhode Island’s." -- @cascadiadaily writer Andrew Reding https://www.cascadiadaily.com/news/2023/sep/01/costs-incarceration-rates-merit-a-no-vote-on-jail-measure/ #BellinghamWA

@willjames of KNKX Public Radio reports: "Librarians in Whatcom County are working with UW to create a series of online quizzes designed to get participants thinking about the quality of information online and their own ability to tell true from false. One quiz, for example, involves a deal for a used truck that looks too good to be true."

I would recommend them even if you don't live in the 42nd, and even if you didn't vote for her. This is the kind of outreach and transparency I want from my elected officials. You can sign up for them here: https://senatedemocrats.wa.gov/shewmake/

What's the point of having a local Mastodon instance if I can't repost content like this from @WhatcomCoPWA@twitter.com
"Whatcom County Public Works has a new paint striping truck, and we want YOUR input on what it should be named. Its official name is 'Truck 302.' 😴 Bor-ing! Help us choose something a bit more creative.

Fascinating map from the #UniversityOfWashington Racial Restrictive Covenants Project which found more than 1,500 racial covenants on property deeds in #WhatcomCounty. While the language still exists, it no longer carries any weight since the supreme court ruled in 1948 that restrictive covenants could not be enforced. Read more from Ralph Schwartz in the #CascadiaDaily: https://www.cascadiadaily.com/news/2023/feb/19/study-finds-1500-racial-covenants-on-whatcom-properties or at the project website here: https://depts.washington.edu/covenants/counties.shtml #BellinghamWA #WashingtonState #PNW #Whatcom
