The Bellingham Herald 17 hrs ago Robert Mittendorf, The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Wash.)
Jun. 6 Private security will continue at Whatcom County s COVID-19 isolation and quarantine site at the former Motel 6 on Byron Avenue in Bellingham.
County Council members authorized a $71,726 contract with Pacific Security for service through September, paid for with funding from the federal CARES Act for pandemic relief, according to a memo from Health Director Erika Lautenbach.
Vote on the contract was 4-2 on Tuesday night, June 2, with council members Tyler Byrd and Ben Elenbaas dissenting and Kathy Kershner absent.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in mass fear, grief, and loss for the collective society, for the Military Health System, it also provided an unprecedented opportunity to test – and confirm – its readiness during an ongoing public health emergency. Personifying the Defense Health Agency’s mission to create a ready medical force to support a medically ready force, thousands of MHS personnel continue to withstand the test in myriad ways.
During National Hospital Week, the MHS recognizes each of the many individuals and teams across the MHS who ensured the readiness mission didn’t falter throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, relying on creativity, adaptability, and teamwork to provide unwavering service to millions of beneficiaries around the world.

In the eighth inning of the 14-4 win by the Longhorns over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders on Tuesday, a possum wandered onto the playing field at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, scurrying along the wall from the left-field fence before doubting its original intentions and confusedly rattling around the warning track for part of a long half inning.
