Coffee + Bellingham = heaven on earth.

Bellingham, Washington, is known for its charm, uniqueness and, of course, its coffee. I am a huge coffee snob. Coffee shop hopping is one of my favorite pastimes, so of course, I have explored a variety of coffee shops since moving to Bellingham.

Here are my top seven.

1. Avellino.

This spot is located right in the heart of downtown on 1329 Railroad Ave. The prices are fair, the bakery and food items are amazing (some vegan options), and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and quaint.

2. Black Drop.

This spot is located on 300 W Champion St. The walls are painted turquoise and have funky artwork on them and all around the shop. This coffee house has a lot of fun drinks such as a French Toast Latte.

3. Camber.

Don’t even get me started on this shop. All in all, I am in love. I have spent way too much money here and will continue to do so. This coffee shop is fairly new to Bellingham and is located at 221 W Holly St. This spot has a more fancy feel to it and the prices are a little more on the pricey side. The coffee shop serves food items, coffee, tea and even wine. They even have a happy hour that features some of the food items half off. Despite higher prices, it is worth it.

4. Primer Coffee.

Located on 1400 W Holly St., this coffee shop has a very modern, cozy aesthetic. The whole shop is brightened from natural light and is extremely inviting. They even serve waffles — a major plus.

5. Firehouse Cafe.

Located on 314 Harris Ave, this coffee shop/theater is a hidden gem of Bellingham. There is a big fireplace that is usually on that totally composes the aesthetic. The coffee is great and the prices are inexpensive. Not to mention, the staff is so friendly and always open for conversation. It is also a theater! They put on a variety of shows over the course of the year.

6. Lettered Streets Coffee.

Located on 1001 Dupont St, this spot has become my go-to place to study, meet with friends or read. Not going to lie, the coffee is to die for. This is the definition of a local coffee shop.

7. Woods Coffee.

Oh, how could we forget our beloved Woods? No matter what, Woods coffee will always hold a special place in my heart. My favorite Bellingham location is located at Boulevard Park on the water. Have you tried the Bellingham Fog? If not, go, go right now. RUN.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
