• Whatcom County Council approves criminal justice sales tax (mybellinghamnow.com) — Lynden residents already paying a similar criminal justice sales tax may see Whatcom County follow suit after the council approved a new 0.1% countywide tax expected to raise $7 million annually. Supporters emphasized clearer spending plans, while opponents wanted voters to decide, but state law doesn’t allow a public vote on this measure. 
• Flamingo 🦩 Tuesday!……...Cascade Wanderings (steemit.com) — A local blogger describes a busy Tuesday that included Bible study, fixing a coworker’s internet at a nearby clinic, and then driving to Lynden for groceries, gas, and coffee.
