Some recent stories: A local farmer's advocacy led to a state bill aiming to allow people to use certain food benefits at mobile markets. In Whatcom County, shoppers at Twin Sisters Mobile Market would feel the impact. www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/mar/09/...

Backlash has swelled in the month and a half since a Mount Vernon City Council member jokingly referenced an anti-immigrant rumor. Now, some locals are asking the council to adopt a resolution affirming the city’s support for its immigrant population. www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/mar/06/...

Two popular local restaurants owe employees more than $160k due to illegal tip sharing, a Dept. of Labor report found.

One of my first stories at The Everett Herald was about a senior center that had outgrown its space. Last week, I wrote about a similar issue in Mount Vernon. County and senior center staff agree the center's building isn't suitable. The question is, what now? www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/feb/23/...

4.7 magnitude earthquake north of Vancouver, B.C., per USGS, just felt in Bellingham, per me. If I were building a house of cards a few minutes ago I'd be mildly upset.

When @audralanderson.bsky.social and I visited Glacier last month, we found a topic that got locals talking: Airbnbs. In recent years, they told us, vacation rentals have increased in Glacier. Some believe they've made finding housing "borderline impossible." www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/feb/12/...
