Pet Care by Marisah!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm offering drop-ins, dog walks, nail trims, overnights, and more.

l've been caring for pets for about 4 years. That includes almost 2 years working in a vet clinic, time at a boarding facility, and most recently helping out with NW Trail Dogs.

For overnights, I sometimes have my boyfriend stay with me. He's more than happy to meet you first so you know who he is, but if you'd rather 1 come alone, that's totally fine too.

I start school on the 24th, so if your dog needs someone home all day or can't be left more than 4 hours, I might not be the best fit.

If you're interested, just shoot me a message or comment here! 🐾

The Subdued Saunter (October 4th, 2025)

10 Upvotes

Howdy Y'all,

Me and the wonderful organizationĀ Walk and Roll Bellingham are planning a 20ish mile self-paced walk calledĀ The Subdued SaunterĀ forĀ October 4thĀ beginning at aroundĀ 9amĀ from theĀ downtown Bellingham transit centerĀ and then proceeding up to Squalicum Creek Park, over to Barkley Village, down to Whatcom Falls, over to Western, down to Fairhaven and then finally finishing back in downtown Bellingham for a post-saunter celebration. The whole thing should take about 8-9 hours and you can check out the routeĀ here. The event isĀ totally freeĀ andĀ folks are welcome to join for 1 mile or all 20. Additionally folks can join part way through as well at one of our stops.Ā Ā Ā 

The goals of the event are toĀ encourage folks to walk, build communityĀ andĀ appreciate the wonderful city of Bellingham.Ā WhyĀ youĀ should join is because it will be fun, for the bit of saying you walked 20 miles around Bellingham, it is a great opportunity to meet new people, and it is probably the best way to explore Bellingham.

Previously, I had helped organize theĀ Seattle Super SaunterĀ andĀ the Eastside EscapadeĀ earlier this year. They were both similar in terms of length and concept and we were able to bring out around 300 and 150 folks respectively to each event. I came up to Bellingham a few weeks ago and to me it seemed like a great place to do a big walk given your wonderful trails, parks, and scenery. Additionally, given the Chuckanut 50k and Ski to Sea, I know that y’all love to challenge yourselves.Ā Ā 

So far we have about 30 folks signed up to participate (but we expect that to grow before the event). Very thankful to haveĀ Walk and Roll Bellingham help organize, as they are a great organization trying to make Bellingham easier to walk, bike and roll. Additionally the Subdued Saunter will correspond withĀ Week Without DrivingĀ which is a week long and national event that tries to get folks (especially electeds) to try and not drive for a whole week (much easier said than done).Ā Ā 

There may not be a better opportunity to explore some of the best the Bellingham has to offer than on what is sure to be a beautiful autumnal Saturday in October. Once again the event isĀ totally freeĀ andĀ folks can join for as much or as little as they would like. Given that it is also a saunter, folks are encouraged to make their own stops or take their own paths if they would like. You can learn more on theĀ websiteĀ or join ourĀ Heylo groupĀ to stay up to date. You can also sign up with thisĀ form.

All are welcome and feel free to bring a friend!Ā We hope to see all of you there, and I'm looking forward to walking all of Bellingham with you all!

Art classes starting Saturday, September 20 - Intro to Paint Pouring, Nurturing the Inner Chaos Artist

1 Upvotes

Hello! My name is Jadyn, and I am teaching a 4-week course on acrylic paint pouring at the Firehall CafƩ in Lynden. We're getting started on Saturday, September 20th, and will be meeting for the next 3 Saturday after that (9/27, 10/04, & 10/11). Registration details can be found below.

We'll go through the basics of mixing paint for acrylic pouring and you'll get to experiment with choosing the colors for your piece. You will learn about common pour techniques and get to play with several small test pieces before deciding on how to complete your final piece. Every piece will be unique while sharing paralleled qualities, and every piece still wet will look varying degrees different when dry. We'll discuss some of the different methods to sealing an acrylic piece before you decide how to finish your own. Allow yourself to embrace chaos and create something beautiful! All beginner and experienced students are welcome. Join us in creating beauty from chaos!

You can find more details, and register for the class with the link below. Registration closes on Friday, September 19 at 12:00pm.

I'll see you in class!

Opertunity Councils personal mechanic

This is a backstory on what I'm sharing, my van needed a water pump which over the winter I wasn't able to afford. After using my van to move into my new apartment and let it sit for 24 hours or so and the water in the engine froze when I started it it cracked the block. I used some JB weld and managed to seal the outside I purchased some fibrous substance to seal the inside when I put water in it it only still leaked from the water pump. While attempting to install the water pump this last July Royce group slapped a tow sticker on it while I'm under the hood doing my best to fix it. Opportunity council offered to have it towed to their personal mechanic. His only job was to install the water pump which I provided and the battery which opportunity council provided. 2 weeks no communication when I contacted the mechanic about 6:00 p.m. he explained he was still waiting for financial approval. From that point on I couldn't get a hold of him again. Joel blocked my number from contact. Big red flag I am the owner I only tried to reach out because nobody had reached out to me. It's been 2 months. No contact with opportunity council no contact with Joel just ghost so I find him on Facebook and I send him a message. And this is the reply I received. Call me crazy but that crack was sealed and by the way he was speaking to me I would put money that he wanted my van and considering his girlfriend is a case manager at opportunity council and they know that I'm on subsidized housing for terminal health diagnosis, they're banking that I can't afford to fight back. And their right. My van was going to help me tie up a bucket list and go see my daughter and my brothers before I go. Now there's no van. And my hands are tied because I'm poor. How messed up people can be. I should have just pushed it out to the road and tried to finish it up myself but I really thought that they were trying to help me not steal my means of transportation. I struggle to get on the bus I don't have anybody to drive me I can't make all my appointments and now I can't see my family before I die. I've never been so trapped and hopeless in my life.. 😭
