- The City of Bellingham has done what Seattle didn't/couldn't do: their City Council voted today to ban plastic shopping bags.
- Local company PopCap has been sold to gaming giant EA, putting to rest rumors of the impending sale.
- The kid who killed the Tuba Man has plead not guilty to two unrelated charges in a hit-and-run case. We hope he receives no breaks whatsoever, and lives the rest of his life in jail.
