From the newsroom

Today marks the end of a harrowing week for thousands of residents in Whatcom and Skagit counties.

In lieu of my usual Friday event roundup, I'm taking the opportunity to highlight ways you can support those impacted. Click here for the full roundup.

Those in a position to make financial donations should consider supporting Skagit Community Foundation's Skagit Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund, and Whatcom Community Foundation's Resilience Fund.

United Way of Skagit County has also mobilized its emergency relief fund. Family Promise of Skagit Valley is accepting in-kind donations for its emergency flood shelter. Check the full story for a list of requested items. The American Red Cross is always looking for volunteers to aid in recovery efforts. See their website for more information.

Finally, if you were planning to attend an event this weekend, here's a roundup of delays and cancellations. Stay safe out there — and if you have the opportunity, consider lending a helping hand.
