Have added a new link in the right side column to a local Whatcom County political blog - Washington Outsiders. This Liberal/Progressive/Populist site has been operating for three years and I didn't know of it till informed this morning by an email. This is a very good website with a lot of photos and, very useful, videos of local interest. He has started posting speeches by our candidates for mayor of Bham - the way of the future for political campaigning beyond personally meeting voters. A fellow named CitizenSteve is doing a great job.

If you know of any other good local blogs, please let me know. This website claims no special corner on local news or opinions. With more good local blogs, we will have a better chance of knowing what is happening locally.
