Birch Bay

Call 405-347-5991 and let Landmark Fine Homes turn your dream into a reality as we are being heard right now, streaming live in Germany, but also plenty of great places around this great country, as my friend in Kalispell certainly is listening up there, just south of Vancouver, B.C., in a town...

It's called Birch Bay, Washington.

We've got listenership.

Las Vegas, I see you.

Uh, I lived in Southern California for a long time.

Then I lived up in Birch Bay, Washington.

Now I live down in Jacksonville, Florida.

I live in the South, and they're real clear what Southern Baptist is down there.

Okay.

Uh, golf carts are street legal in Birch Bay.

I didn't, I, I didn't know that.

I didn't know that either.

Birch Bay just-

Is there even a g- a, a golf course-

Birch Bay in Washington?

They're two feet away across the border.

Like, when you go to restaurants and you see...

Like, for example, um, by the, the market in Birch Bay and stuff like that, their Tesla stations are way out of the way, and so they're, they're, you know, you're not gonna have customers or employees or anything park in there.

But you have 'em...

If you have 'em right up front, you know, you're gonna have, have people park in those spots that just shouldn't be parking in.

And now the weather this weekend is supposed to be mostly on the drier side.

And if you're looking for something fun to do outdoors with the whole family, Birch Bay is the place you want to be.

That's right.

It's the 14th annual Run with the Chums event up in Birch Bay tomorrow.

The free event features a scenic 5K running course, a kids' small sprint, an obstacle course, and more.

In-person check-in starts at 8.30 a.m. That includes a free t-shirt.

Lyle Sorensen and Rick Todd live in the studio today on this Labor Day weekend.

I want to thank our sponsors, Windermere Real Estate with offices in Fairhaven, Bellingham, Ferndale, Birch Bay and Linden.

Speaking of Linden, you know, Rick, we should probably go hang out at the Linden office because it's less than a block from Rustic Bar and Grill.

Oh, yeah.

Head Dhamma, drummer Adam Weaver, keyboard maestro and recording engineer Robin Livingston, and guitar guru and friend of the show Jacob Landry join me for a great conversation and deep dive into their debut LP, Low Buildings.

It's all coming up in my hyper-local second hour, but let's get right into a Dama Dama type mood to start the show off with Skies of Venus, a funky post-pop soul band out of a beautiful part of coastal Washington State called Birch Bay.

This is their latest single called El Fresca.

So grateful to have you with me here today on WESA Twin Peaks Radio.

I know, right? Yeah, it kind of just started to downpour.

I left Birch Bay this

morning.

I call that a heavy miss.

Yeah, heavy, heavy miss, for sure.

Yeah, I left Birch Bay, and it was pretty nice.

You know, a little overcast.

Got to Ferndale.

I don't know why that would be the case, but anyway.

I had an interesting incident just happen on the Birch Bay and Linden Road.

I was heading back from Birch Bay with an equipment trailer.

And I had this car pacing me real close.

And I noticed it in my mirror, back and forth, side over the yellow line, over the white line.

Ended up, I called 911.

I thought, okay, well, this guy's trouble.

Then the train comes and blocks the Birch Bay and Linden Road, and you can't get through.
