Ep. 195 "Wandering in Whatcom County Part 1" #WelcomeBackToBellingham Series

Housekeeping.
Clarification courtesy of the lovely Sarah Hutton @ Village Books
“Hey AJ and Chris, I've loved listening to the Back to Bham themed series. I've got a list of new places to try! Quick note of clarification - Evolve is still with us on the mezzanine level as well as at their space at the Hotel Leo. Two opportunities for deliciousness! Hopefully we'll see you soon in the stacks! ”

Also, a bit thank you and shout out to Brenna, who gave me the TL;DR of Amendment 21, it is great food and top shelf drinks especially if you are a gin fan.
