Good morning, Bellingham!

Monday, May 11, 2026

While Sunday was a quiet day by the numbers, the evening told a different story: five domestic dispute reports landed between 6 PM and 11 PM, spread across South Bellingham, Roosevelt, Alabama Hill, Samish, and Barkley. The evening cluster made domestic disputes (no assault) the second most common category of the day behind Behavioral Health.
