It's June, which means the 2025 Bellingham Bells season has officially begun!

CDN is sponsoring the June 11th game, and I still have a few free tickets available for our newsletter subscribers.

You can secure your tickets by sending me an email at alanamarcum@cascadiadaily.com with:

1. Your name and how many tickets you'd like.
2. Your favorite summer activity in Whatcom or Skagit county.

That's it!

I only have 75 tickets to give away on a first come, first served basis. Yours truly will be throwing the first pitch – hope to see you there!
