Good afternoon, Bellingham!

Thursday, June 18, 2026

Wednesday's 40 incidents were the most Bellingham has seen in a week, however, that number largely consisted of "Other Non-Criminal" and "Behavioral health" reports. Those two categories accounted for 17 of BPD's responses, and contributed to a day with 29% more incidents than the current seven-day average. A brandishing arrest on Meridian St and a felony assault downtown were the more serious events in an otherwise non-violent day.

PATTERN WATCH

Busier Than Usual Wednesday

Wednesday's 40 incidents came in about 34% above the 8-week Wednesday average of roughly 30. Notably, 17 of those incidents were "Other Non-criminal" and "Behavioral Health" incidents.

WEEKLY TREND

Vehicle Prowl

Vehicle prowl reports are up from 1 in the prior 7-day period to 5 in the most recent. The numbers are small, but the parallel rise in auto theft reports (0 to 2) is worth knowing.

PATTERN WATCH

1300 Block of F St

The 1300 Block of F St in the Lettered Streets neighborhood ranked 4th in 7-day incident volume but does not appear in the 30-day top 15, a new concentration of activity for a typically quiet block.
