This Saturday, March 21, marks the 32nd annual Chuckanut 50k ultramarathon in Bellingham. Runners from all over come to challenge themselves along the beautiful Chuckanuts, rain or shine.

Spring is almost here, and what better way to celebrate than by visiting the Bellingham Farmer’s Market? This Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., local vendors will showcase fresh produce, honey from local beekeepers, and freshly baked goods. The market runs just before returning to its regular schedule in April. For more information, visit bellinghamfarmers.org.
