Good morning, Bellingham.
🎭 Culture
Lynden Heritage Museum is raising $100,000 to stay open as funding cuts, fire repair costs and rising expenses forced reduced staff and hours during its 50th anniversary.
Nearly $15,000 has been raised online already, and donations will be accepted through September or October.
🏛️ Government
Sudden Valley’s Station 22 is now fully operational after over two years of closure due to water leak damage from frozen pipes.

Washington state Attorney General Nick Brown secured a $750,000 settlement with Bookonline.com and Lexyl Technologies for pre-checking a fee option on hotel bookings from November 2023 to March 2025 — about 12,000 residents will receive refunds.
