From: League of Women Voters Bellingham/Whatcom County



Forums for the Upcoming Election
As always, we will be hosting candidate forums to help voters make their decisions on upcoming ballots.

In collaboration with civics students at Bellingham High School, we will question all the candidates for Bellingham City Council at 7 p.m. on October 16 in the school’s main auditorium.

Local elections are not less important for our lives than national ones. And national politicians may be looking to see what choices we make.  Learn more about how you can be informed on your vote!

Fall Member Meeting: November 1, 2025
Politics are making our country (and county!) more divided than ever and yet our democracy is dependent on our ability to share ideas and perspectives.

What if you could change your experiences with these difficult conversations and could approach them with a sense of curiosity?  

If you are interested in beginning to explore ways to be curious while still being authentic and honest, please come to the member meeting on Saturday November 1st. Monique Stefens will be leading us in beginning to build bridges in conflict.
