Good morning, Bellingham.

The Whatcom Transportation Authority is increasing bus service for Ski to Sea on May 24 by running buses every 10 minutes from downtown to Fairhaven from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and every 15 minutes afterward; fares are $1 with free rides for under-18 passengers.

A traffic incident on I-5 near Sunset Dr has blocked all lanes and caused backups north to Samish Way while officials, including fire assistance + WSP and medical aid, work to clear the scene.

A cyberattack on Canvas shut down access at WWU, Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Technical College on May 7 — a breach that may have exposed student names, emails and IDs.

Schools have since restored access and warned students to avoid suspicious emails.

WSDOT will reduce I-5 near Alger to one lane at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 10, for a fish passage project that closes northbound on-ramp from Lake Samish for a month; work pauses for the World Cup between June 12 and July 8 so drivers use Hwy 9 or Chuckanut Drive.

The Lummi Nation filed an emergency injunction on Thursday, May 7 to stop Whidbey Telecom from proceeding with construction on ancient burial grounds in Point Roberts after documents showed inadequate damage assessments and damage to human remains — county records acknowledged improper permit issuance. Whidbey Telecom has not yet responded.
