In the February 2020 print edition

Jan 30, 2020 06:00AM ● By Pamela Johnson

Welcome to the February 2020 issue of the Bellingham Bulletin!

We've got lots of news and information, as well as some pretty cool ideas for Valentine's Day and school vacation week. Take some time to browse through either the print issue or digital edition below.

As always, we try to deliver a balanced blend of feature articles, sports reporting and press releases from local organizations and businesses, along with the advertising that, as a non-subscription publication, is so crucial to our continued success.

Without sufficient advertisers, we’d either have to start charging a subscription fee (and lose our "every door direct mail" appeal), or stop mailing the paper directly to every home and business, and resort solely to distribution locations where you could pick up the Bulletin--so much more convenient to just carry it from your mailbox into your house with the rest of your mail.

Of course, the best way to help us retain advertisers is to patronize these businesses as often as possible; even if you don't end up buying anything, please let them know that you saw their ad in the Bellingham Bulletin. You could also suggest to businesses that do not already advertise with us that perhaps they should--every referral helps.

Please like our Facebook page to communicate with fellow residents in real time. (Simply click on "Like Bellingham Bulletin" in the Facebook plug-in on the right.)
