What drying runs into in Bellingham
Serving Bellingham and the surrounding area, including York, Lettered Streets, Sehome, Roosevelt, Cornwall Park, Lakeway, Columbia, Alabama Hill.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Bellingham were built and the answer is 1986 at the median, 53.9 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1986 with about half the stock older, the houses are built on slopes above the water and their foundation drainage runs by gravity to an outlet lower down the hill rather than to a pump, so the whole system depends on one opening staying clear.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Bellingham has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 34.8 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in November at 5.83 inches of an annual 38.2; rain recorded at BELLINGHAM 2.4 SW 2.9 miles away and temperatures at BELLINGHAM 3 SSW 3.1 miles away. November is the wettest month at close to six inches of a thirty-eight inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season runs from autumn to spring without a break; a blocked outlet in that stretch means the drain is full continuously rather than during a storm.
How water losses tend to end in Bellingham
- Drainage that works by gravity to a single outlet, so one blockage disables the whole system
- An outlet lower down the slope that nobody visits, so it silts and grows over without being noticed
- A wet season with no break, so a blocked system is under load continuously rather than intermittently
