I just jumped from my desk and sprinted down to Roeder Avenue in Bellingham to find out more about what we heard was a train derailment. While there was a derailed train, it was not quite what I had imagined. Thankfully, the engine was only a few inches from the rail.

A BNSF train sits a few inches from the track on Roeder Avenue in downtown Bellingham.

🚨 Skagit County drone pilots: FAA issued a TFR between Sedro-Woolley and Rockport along Hwy 20 and the Skagit River. Do not fly there as the airspace is reserved for first responders.

Earlier today reports circulated of ICE agents at Skagit Valley College. I walked the campus myself and an SVC security guard told me around 2:00 they got a call about possible ICE activity but could not find any evidence. It is unclear what prompted the reports but it appears to be a false alarm.

An email from the Mount Vernon School District to families reads: “Important Update
Dear families and staff, there have been recent reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) being in the area. The Mount Vernon School District will follow our policies and procedures set in place to keep our students and staff safe.”

Your friendly reminder that ballots are due today at 8 p.m. in Washington. This morning at the Skagit County election center, an official told me they’d only received 14% of ballots that were mailed out — not totally surprising for an off-year election where many precincts didn’t have a primary.

I never got a notification saying my food was ready, so considering it sat for 20 minutes or so and was not very warm, it was pretty good. I’d put it right there with Red Robin.

The latest from @j-tell.bsky.social's series following the unusual path Whatcom County's recycling follows is out now. We've spent plenty of time at local recycling centers, and this installment takes you down to Mount Vernon where construction and demolition waste is processed.
