A big article in the #CascadiaDaily about the recent Whatcom County charter review meeting about #RankedChoiceVoting. It was really a fascinating meeting with four invited guests who are #RCV experts from around the country. Well worth watching the video of the meeting (linked at the end of the article) https://www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/may/14/ranked-choice-voting-considered-in-whatcom-but-it-would-cost-auditor-says/

This is a reminder that talking about Cute Winter Boots online doesn’t change the world. To do that, you have to meet with people in your neighborhood, city, community. You have to help people where they are, not just give them likes.
And there’s only so much you should do over public broadcast communications.
(If you’re near the #Skagit, #Whatcom or #IslandCounty areas, I may be reaching out if you don’t ping me first.)

I dug into my archives and found this map I made of 2016 election results aggregated by the (then) new Whatcom County council districts introduced in 2017. Gives a rough sense of the political alignment in our small county here in the northwest corner of Washington State.
I need to update this map with new data from all the elections since 2016, obviously, but it's a hassle to work with the precinct level results. Soon.

"Is #BellinghamWA a heat island? #ClimateChange could hurt low-income parts of the city." via #BellinghamHerald:
Canopy coverage in Bellingham was at around 40% in 2018, above the national average of 27-33% coverage.
But: “Within Bellingham there is a lot of tree canopy inequity,” said Micheal Feerer executive director of the #Whatcom Million Trees Project. “Some neighborhoods like Birchwood [...] have a lot less tree canopy than some of the southern neighborhoods.”

Hey @BellinghamWA we are up and running. I just approved all the folks waiting to join the group. Sorry about the delay. I didn't know that it was set to moderate follow requests. That's been changed and you should be seeing this.
Please pass on the group to any and all in the fediverse talking about #Bellingham or #Whatcom and surrounding areas. And to post, all you need to do is tag @BellinghamWA in your post

I just added #SubduedSocial to the instance pickers at instances.social (@instances), mastodonservers.net, joinfediverse.wiki, masto.town, and I submitted a request for us to be added to the #regional list on joinmastodon.org. I hope more #local #BellinghamWA and #Whatcom people find us! I'm very optimistic about the potential for Mastodon for local conversations, and I hope we can provide a good home for people migrating here from the Bellingham subreddit. #RedditMigration
