  • Traveling exhibit at Lynden museum explores traditional foods of Puget Sound natives

    LYNDEN - A new traveling exhibit at Lynden Pioneer Museum is small in size but it deals with a big issue: the importance of what people eat and where their food comes from.

    The "Salish Bounty" exhibit was put together by the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. It's the first such presentation to land in Whatcom County since Burke's traveling exhibit program began six years ago.

    The exhibit's subtitle, "Traditional Native American Foods of Puget Sound," makes the focus clear. Long before the current push to "eat local," traditional Salish tribes in the Puget Sound area, including the Lummis and Nooksacks, consumed in one fashion or another more than 280 species of plants and animals.

  • Bellingham Maritime Museum gets new lease on life

    BELLINGHAM - The Bellingham Maritime Museum has struck a lease deal with the Port of Bellingham that will allow the museum to survive and keep the most important items in its boat collection, museum director Mike Granat said Tuesday, May 7.

    Port commissioners unanimously approved a one-year lease for the museum at its present location in a port-owned warehouse at 800 Cornwall Ave. The lease entitles the museum to 6,000 square feet of space in the warehouse at $1,500 per month.

    The 6,000-square-foot space is a fraction of the approximately 25,000 square feet that the museum had been using, but Granat said he and his volunteers will be able to make it work. There will be enough space to keep the museum's proudest possessions: a PBR vessel built in Bellingham by United Boat Builders, and a PACV Hovercraft believed to be the only one of its kind still in existence. Both vessels survived river combat during the Vietnam War.
