Photobook (and a half) wins from this evening
Love Mike Tirico but why is he delivering an opening monologue for the opening ceremony from the Super Bowl 😭
What if the Seahawks are really a million geoducks in a trench coat?
Here’s 50 more of my favorite songs from this year if you’re in the mood for a whiplash-inducing playlist:
It’s not everyday I end up writing a little in the living section, a fun piece from the whole staff:
Sammy Solano Rivera is sworn in Dec. 3 during a Mount Vernon School District board meeting. (Finn Wendt/Cascadia Daily News)
Solano Rivera won nearly 60% of a school board vote in November, unseating incumbent member Wendy Ragusa, who had held the role for eight years. At 19 years old, Rivera is the youngest member on the Mount Vernon school board.
🚨 Skagit County drone pilots: FAA issued a TFR between Sedro-Woolley and Rockport along Hwy 20 and the Skagit River. Do not fly there as the airspace is reserved for first responders.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:
An email from the Mount Vernon School District to families reads: “Important Update Dear families and staff, there have been recent reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) being in the area. The Mount Vernon School District will follow our policies and procedures set in place to keep our students and staff safe.” Image Source: StopICEAlerts.ddns.net
Earlier today reports circulated of ICE agents at Skagit Valley College. I walked the campus myself and an SVC security guard told me around 2:00 they got a call about possible ICE activity but could not find any evidence. It is unclear what prompted the reports but it appears to be a false alarm.
With the NFL trade deadline and election night both falling on my birthday, today will be my journalism Super Bowl
If you're interested in learning more about the local tribes, I want to refresh this piece @cocoalaney.bsky.social and I put together last year about the Nooksack language revitalization efforts and learn the Nooksack words for some local landmarks.
I pulled over to take in the view following the Lummi Nation School's Indigenous Peoples Day assembly. As we reside on unceded land, it's important to acknowledge those who have tended it since time immemorial.
Mount Baker towers over Bellingham yesterday as seen from Lummi Shore Road.
All things end. Including, now, deadlines. After more than three years, I'm ending my regular business contributions to Cascadia Daily News.
It's been a good run. And worthy of a brief essay for a Frank assessment of business in #Whatcom and #Skagit counties.
Thank you, CDN. Because #journalism.
🧵I was introduced to Dr. Nicholas Muff because he is a world-class railroad modeler. He is elite. No detail is too small.
One day when I was visiting, he was planting sugarcane stalks smaller than a toothpick -- one at a time -- along a stretch of his HO-scale Kansas City Southern Railroad tracks.
The arch was erected in 2018 to memorialize these events as well as the 1885 expulsion of Chinese immigrants and the 1942 internment of people of Japanese descent.
On Sept. 4, 1907, a mob of hundreds of white men attacked the homes of Indian immigrants working in local lumber mills. Driven by the Asiatic Exclusion League, the mob forced more than 100 immigrants to flee Bellingham.
Community members, including Whatcom County Executive Satpal Sidhu, right, gather for a photo at the Arch of Healing and Reconciliation sculpture to commemorate the 118th anniversary of the Bellingham Riot of 1907.
Sure, people including myself aren’t denoising every single picture, but I’m photographing a lot of high school sports, poorly lit indoor events, etc. so it’s a tool I’ve come to use often.
Back in mid-July, @cascadiadaily.com got emails and voicemails about low flying helicopters over neighborhoods. Even my editor's house got buzzed.
From now until Sept. 19, the public can submit comments on the Trump administration's proposal to repeal the 2001 Roadless Rule, which prohibits road building and logging in 58 million acres of national forest around the country.
New, really fascinating analysis from Cascade PBS on the Christian nationalism that has found footholds in the name of some local so-called non-denominational churches.
The Whatcom County Executive makes more than the Washington state governor folks. Read more in @simonelli.bsky.social story
Life is suffering (having to put off listening to today’s podcasts so I have enough content to make it through my flight tomorrow)
Preliminary primary election results for Skagit County are in. Results will be certified on August 19.
