Wildfires cover Whatcom County in smoke

Whatcom County residents found themselves under a layer of smoke on July 6 as wildfires burned in Washington and British Columbia.

B.C. is currently affected by more than 180 wildfires throughout the province. The smoke from the more than 70 fires burning in the lower mainland and Vancouver Island has settled over much of western Washington, extending as far south as the Olympic Peninsula.

Construction begins on Blaine district schools

With school out for the summer, construction work on the Blaine school district's capital improvement projects are in full swing. Beynon Sports Surfaces, a Maryland-based manufacturer and installer of synthetic track surfaces, has begun repairing the base and replacing the surface of the high school track. Operating worldwide, Beynon installed the track facilities at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon, which is used for Olympic trials.
