When I filed this, the headline alone elicited audible groans from the mostly-renter newsroom. Sorry folks. It’s rough out there.
This was supposed to be a simple update but nothing is simple in this confounding boondoggle!
I’ve been thinking and talking a lot about death in preparation for an upcoming series on everything end of life, and advance care planning is an important part of the conversation. This is a shame.

Another day of being grateful to be a reporter still working within a larger infrastructure. I’m not cut out for self-employment.
I love news obits.
Ban the word "clash" and "crackdown" from journalism.
Passive voice cited as cowardly distancing maneuver, say some experts

Community members gathered on the winter solstice to mourn the 87 homeless people who died in Whatcom County this year.
“A funny thing happens when you’re the cheerleader for others. Often, they cheer back. Unfuckwithable people are stronger because of the network of people they build.”
It’s impossible to pick just one story from our tranche of flood coverage but this one probably hits the hardest. I am so proud to work with such dedicated, talented people at @cascadiadaily.com
This WSDOT study has been rattling around in my brain for so long that I assumed everyone had read it, but guess not! The main takeaway: too many people take short trips on I-5 in Bellingham.
While most local governments in the region are wrestling to bring budget deficits under control in the face of inflation and stagnant revenues, the City of Ferndale is feeling a bit more comfortable with the status quo.
