Good afternoon, Bellingham!

Tuesday, June 16, 2026

Monday logged 30 incidents, about 7% below the seven-day average. The day's most striking incident was a 39-year-old arrested for burglary at the 800 Block of Lakeway Dr, the Fred Meyer location. Not unusual in itself, but the incident marked the individual's 20th arrest since April 2025 - roughly once every three weeks for over a year.
