The musician Matt Cameron once said, “Live your life to the fullest and focus on the positive.” We at WhatcomTalk believe this wholeheartedly. We try to focus on the positive every day—and here in Whatcom County, that is easy to do. From our beautiful scenery to our friendly neighbors, to our great local community—who could ask for more?
