Tiny homes are trending around the world. They’re creatively cute, energy-efficient, affordable and better for the environment. Many are portable and with less to clean and maintain compared to a traditional home, one might have more free time and income. What’s not to like?

With Whatcom County real estate prices at an all time high and rental vacancy rates at an all-time low, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)—the proverbial mother-in-law suite—have become a focus of public conversation, most recently at City Council meetings. New rules make backyard cottages, carriage houses and other units easier to have throughout Bellingham.

Many communities are also incorporating tiny homes as a potential approach to reducing homelessness.

All this tiny home fervor inspired Dan Dunne of CAZ Insulation & Energy Services (CAZ) to build one. The CAZ team, with the support of other local businesses, built and donated a one-of-a-kind tiny home to Kulshan Community Land Trust (Kulshan CLT). As Board President, Dunne thought this would be a fun fundraising project that would enable Kulshan CLT to continue and expand the work they’re already doing to make homeownership a reality for more middle- and low-income families.

Because of their efforts, one lucky community member has a chance to take this tiny home, home on September 22. It is being raffled off now through September 22 to benefit the ongoing efforts of Kulshan CLT in our community.

A Very Special Tiny Home

The 220-square-foot house on wheels has an estimated value of $39,000. Painted a vibrant blue with white trim, the home was built by the CAZ team with collaboration that included donated materials and services from other local businesses. A-1 Builders helped with labor. This little unit has cabinetry provided by Kent Chassum, windows from West Coast Windows and beautiful granite countertops by Sims Masonry. The plumbing system was donated and installed by Favinger Plumbing. Carla Lee of People’s Bank contributed the rich hardwood flooring and BlueBarrel pitched in the water catchment system. Elie Samuel of Samuel’s Furniture donated tables and Helene & Co. staged this adorable space with linens, flower boxes and more while Chris Howard of HiDrive Photo captured the beauty of this little home.

Why Housing is a Big Deal

“The gap between wages and home prices continues to widen across the country, particularly in Northwest Washington and in Whatcom County. That fact makes homeownership well out of reach for many low- to moderate-income community members,” explains Kulshan CLT Executive Director Dean Fearing. “As a way to cope, many are downsizing, while others are putting their financial support behind their local Land Trusts who work hard to keep housing affordable.”

Since it began in 1999, Kulshan Community Land Trust has helped more than 180 middle-income households (80 percent of AMI and below) purchase quality, affordable Whatcom County homes. Their efforts guarantee that those homes will remain affordable for future buyers as well.

Proceeds from tiny home raffle tickets will help Kulshan CLT build their latest project, Telegraph Road Townhomes, a joint partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Whatcom County that will break ground this summer. “When completed, over 52 affordably-priced, energy-efficient homes will be available to low- to moderate-income families,” explains Fearing. “We’ve also worked with Whatcom Transportation Authority to establish a new bus stop on site to ensure residents have transportation options and minimal traffic impact. This will help reduce the number of county families who currently drive further and further from their job center to find economical housing options.”

How do you get your hands on the winning Kulshan CLT tiny house ticket? You can purchase them with cash, check or credit/debit at the Kulshan CLT Office at 1303 Commercial Street, Suite 6 or at the events below. There is no limit on the number of $25 raffle tickets per buyer and you need not be present to win. One lucky winner will be chosen at the Kulshan CLT’s Annual Community Party at Boundary Bay Brewery on September 22. The event begins at 5:00 p.m. and one lucky winner will be selected at 6:30 p.m.

Community-Based Solutions to the Housing Crisis

Kulshan CLT Executive Director Dean Fearing appreciates the efforts of CAZ’s Dan Dunne.

By partnering with local organizations like Habitat, Kulshan CLT fosters a healthy mix of housing types, sizes and prices, affordable at the wages of the jobs nearby. Permanently housing more of our residents means greater stability for families at home, in our neighborhoods and in the community. For example, Kulshan CLT homeowners are eight times less likely to experience home foreclosure and its negative impacts. As a result, children change schools less often allowing families to get fully involved in community efforts and support area businesses and job centers. That extends outward to include potential improvements in social justice, economic vitality and environmental sustainability.

Kulshan CLT Homeowners Become Community Leaders

The proof is in the pudding. Many early Kulshan CLT homeowners have gone on to become leaders and successful business owners and job providers in our community. For example, Bellingham City Councilman Daniel Hammill has served the city in various capacities since 2010 including co-founding United Way of Whatcom County’s Bellingham/Whatcom Project Homeless Connect and other public programs for the homeless. Stephanie Oppelaar has owned the Black Drop Coffeehouse on Champion Street since December 2009. Ann Marie Cooper is Co-owner of Good Earth Pottery in Fairhaven which showcases and sells the work of more than 50 local artists. Kulshan CLT’s first homeowner Jen Green served as the Court Clerk in Whatcom County Superior Court for more than 18 years and has served as a Kulshan CLT Trustee since 2012. Kendra Meyer works as Outreach Coordinator at Kulshan CLT. Alex Ramel is running for State Representative in the 40th District. And that’s just a few of 180 families helped directly by Kulshan CLT. Thousands more have benefited from their financial, health and energy education opportunities.

“Every dollar donated to Kulshan CLT is a lifetime investment toward sustainable homeownership and community stability long-term,” notes Fearing. “We invite everyone to show their support by getting their winning raffle tickets today and congratulating the lucky winner at our Annual Party on September 22.”

New Evolve Chocolate + Café on the Mezzanine of Village Books Promises a Sensory Blend of Sweets, Sips and Savories and a Spectacular View

A new restaurant will open early this summer on the mezzanine of Village Books and Paper Dreams in Fairhaven. Evolve Chocolate + Café, co-owned by Chef Christy Fox and Shannon Fox, will offer an array of sweets, sips and savories in the cozy space tucked among the book shelves, overlooking the Village Green and Bellingham Bay. When it opens, Evolve Chocolate + Café’s hours will match Village Books and Paper Dreams. Grand opening events will be announced.

Evolve Chocolate is known for its award-winning truffles, sipping chocolates and unique flavor profiles. The Foxes have sold their small-batch chocolate confections at wine, food and chocolate festivals from Seattle to San Francisco as well as the Bellingham and Edison farmers markets, Washington wineries and at their popular “pop-up” chocolate lounges around Bellingham for the past five years.

Chef Christy Fox’s experience goes beyond chocolate; she has a nearly 30-year background working in regional fine dining restaurants. The co-owners with the help of the community have been searching for a permanent home to offer a full sensory experience with a savory menu that highlights regional bounty, handcrafted cocktails and desserts from scratch.

“The Village Books team approached us to see if we were interested in the space. Humbled by their inquiry, we knew immediately that it was Evolve’s new home,” Shannon Fox says. Christy Fox adds, “Being housed inside Village Books is like being given a big hug with mutual value structure and belief in community.”

The new cafe will be nestled among the books, filling the space with heavenly smells. Photo courtesy: Evolve Chocolates.

“When we heard Shannon and Christy’s plans for the space and read their proposed menu, it confirmed they are absolutely the right fit,” says Village Books co-owner Kelly Evert. “They are designing an experience that will encourage community, celebrate local food and create memories.”

Adds co-owner Sarah Hutton, “We have a shared goal to welcome our community to Fairhaven and to encourage conversation inspired by great food and great books. We think our customers are going to love it!”

The Foxes will continue to support both Bellingham Farmers Markets by shopping there for fresh ingredients as well as maintaining a working booth at the Saturday market. They’ll open a sidewalk café at Village Books’ parkside entrance near the Village Green during the Wednesday Fairhaven Market and Saturdays for Fairhaven Outdoor Cinema movies. Special events such as champagne soirees, high tea and author/book-themed dinners will be housed in their private event space. The Foxes will launch a Kickstarter campaign soon so community members can support their café.

The new cafe will serve deliciously creative menu items. Photo courtesy: Evolve Chocolates.

While café construction is underway, Village Books owners will re-imagine the rest of the mezzanine level with new areas for writers and events. The bookstore and Evolve are working with the ReVision DiVision at the ReStore to upcycle fixtures, tables and seating.

The Foxes are the fourth owners of the café space in Village Books. When Village Books founders Chuck and Dee Robinson designed the new Village Books, they made sure to incorporate a café where the community could gather. They approached local restaurateurs Fred and Lynn Berman, who created and opened Book Fare Café on Oct. 25, 2004, the same day the new Village Books location opened. The Bermans sold Book Fare to Rachel Vasak in 2007. She ran it for two years then passed ownership to Lori Calderhead-Wetzel, who operated the café from 2009 to 2010. Chef Charles Claassen took the reins in late 2010. He is selling the café to pursue other interests.

“With our continued long-term relationship with our neighbor Colophon Café and the exciting new addition of Evolve Chocolate + Café, Village Books and Paper Dreams remains Bellingham’s place to feed your mind, body and soul,” says co-owner Paul Hanson.

About Evolve Chocolate

Established in 2012 by co-owners/founders Christy Fox and Shannon Fox, Evolve Chocolate has been recognized nationally for its artisan truffles and sipping chocolates.  Both have a deep history with food – Christy as a classically trained chef since 1992, and Shannon coming from a French household where life revolved around the kitchen as well as her experience working in the catering industry for many years.

About Village Books & Paper Dreams

Founded in 1980 by Chuck and Dee Robinson and, as of 2017, under new ownership and stewardship of Paul Hanson, Kelly Evert and Sarah Hutton, Village Books and Paper Dreams is a community-based, independent bookstore and gift shop with two locations: the flagship store in the historic Fairhaven district of Bellingham, Washington, and its second location in the historic Waples Mercantile Building in Lynden, Washington.

The new Evolve Cafe will serve a variety of delightful beverages. Photo courtesy: Evolve Chocolates.

Ferndale’s Flicks in the Park: More than a Movie

The days of piling into a car and riding to the drive-in theater have dwindled, but the desire to gather in front of a big screen beneath the stars is alive and well. Thanks to the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce, the experience is, too.

Pioneer Park is home of the annual Flicks in the Park. Photo courtesy: Pioneer Park.

Flicks in the Park began in 2012 and the annual tradition is still going strong. On July 13, the community will gather once again to enjoy Wonder Woman on the big screen.

Wonder Woman explores the journey of Diana, a princess and Amazonian warrior from Themyscira, or Paradise Island. When a pilot crashes on her shore, Diana discovers there’s conflict in the outside world and takes it upon herself to uncover her true destiny. This award-winning superhero film is sure to delight viewers of all ages.

The outdoor movie theater will be staged inside historic Pioneer Park, just two blocks from downtown Ferndale. The park’s 100-year-old cedar trees add a certain ambiance to the event. It’s the perfect place to gather with friends and have a great time.

Flicks in the Park is free to attend. Before the movie starts, there are even free hot dogs while supplies last. And don’t forget to get your movie fix – ice cream and candy will be on sale at the nearby “General Store.”

As darkness falls, the movie begins at Flicks in the Park. Photo courtesy: Ferndale Chamber of Commerce.

“I really love the energy and the community [at Flicks in the Park],” says Audrey Audette, Ferndale Chamber of Commerce event and program coordinator. “It’s a perfect place to see your neighbors and friends, and creates such a great sense of community. We have hotdogs and popcorn and the Ferndale Parks Department puts on some field games as well.”

Bring your blankets and lawn chairs to set up your squad’s patch of grass. Then break out the snacks and enjoy the night. The kids can run wild and dance the night away. It’s okay – you’re outside.

There’s something special about hundreds of people gathering under the night sky to enjoy an experience. The laughter is richer. The hero’s battles are harder. The desire to cheer cannot be contained. Mark your calendars for July 13, and get ready for a one-of-a-kind summer experience. Gates will open at 8:30 p.m. and the movie will begin at dusk.

Lovitt Restaurant Focuses on Healthy Fats

Lovitt Restaurant serves farm to table meals from their basement kitchen in the heart of Historic Fairhaven. Owners Norman and Kristen Six developed their menu around locally sourced ingredients, with a focus on unwinding the common narrative around fats.

“A major part of our restaurant is that we believe – scientifically and anecdotally – that if you eat in a traditional way, you can eat satisfying meals on a daily basis and have positive health ramifications,” says Norman. For the Sixes, this means using quality fats and traditional methods of preparation, like fermentation.

Lovitt’s space is expansive yet cozy, with a great view into the kitchen. A piano stands in the corner for live evening music. “We rent such a large space because we want to see our restaurant become a gathering place for our community,” says Norman. “We want it to be the place people come for coffee and where they gather around an evening meal – and have that community built around sharing good food.”

Norman and Kristen opened their first restaurant in Chicago in 2002. At the time, Norman was a vegetarian. Despite eating what he thought was a healthy diet, his cholesterol was too high. Faced with the possibility of a daunting regimen of medications, he decided to address his diet instead. “I remembered that where I grew up near Colville, the old-time ranchers ate their meat and vegetables every day and they were healthy,” he said.

Lovitt’s full service bar is a great place for gathering. Photo credit: Kristen Six.

Norman began introducing meat and cooking with lard in lieu of processed seed oils. Today, he feels healthy and energetic, and his cholesterol is down to normal. “We don’t yawn anymore,” he says. “Even though we should be exhausted running this restaurant and raising two kids.”

Kristen agrees. “It helps us get through long days when we eat good food. We work all day in our restaurant. We eat what we serve and we feel great.”

On his workbench, Norman divvies up a large batch of sourdough into hamburger buns. “Sourdough fits right into our ideas of traditional eating,” he says. “The fermentation helps break down the gluten and it helps diversify our guts’ bioflora.” Norman also uses sourdough in his fish batter.

“Our customers can tell the difference,” says Kristen. “We have regulars who come here and know they have wheat sensitivities, but they can eat our sourdough and it doesn’t trigger a reaction in them.”

Norman isn’t shy about fried foods. The coconut oil in their large fry kettle is a unique part of Lovitt’s approach to fats. “Every other restaurant uses corn oil in their fryer and the difference is clear in how your body can process that,” Norman says. “We use coconut oil because it behaves similarly to animal fats. I can eat a plate of our fish and chips and not feel bogged down with grease. In fact, I feel energized by it.”

Lovitt sources its beef from a rancher in Stevens County, purchasing whole animals. The practice is more economical and ensures quality. “We can serve up a nice steak dinner for a similar price to other restaurants in town,” says Norman. “The difference is our meat is better. We source animals that graze and roam freely, not feedlots.”

Keeping with the farm to table movement, Lovitt also uses local eggs and vegetables. Norman cracks open two eggs to demonstrate their quality. Both locally sourced, one came from a majority organic grain diet, while the other came from foraged insects and scraps. While both looked richer than the anemic yellow of industrially farmed chicken eggs, it was clear from the deep orange yolk and thick shell that the foraging chicken was healthier. Norman and Kristen believe eating what we’re designed to eat is a gateway to vitality.

“Take the time to cook your food – it’s the crux of life,” Kristen says. “What you eat affects your whole experience when you make choices that determine your health and energy.” She once had an office job and relied on quick, pre-prepared, sugar-based foods. “I’d constantly crash and have to eat more,” she says. “When I shifted to eating more fats and whole foods, everything changed for me.”

Tim Walker: Finding Change Through Yoga

For Tim Walker, Yoga marked a new life path. Photo courtesy: Tim Walker.

Tim Walker didn’t always have yoga. For most of his life, he didn’t know it was something he needed. He found the practice while turning his life around, when renewal, rejuvenation and healing were necessary.

Tim Walker loves to share yoga with others. Photo courtesy: Tim Walker.

Six years ago, Tim quit drinking, opened a new business fixing cars and took on a fresh mindset. The practice of yoga helped him discover himself and allowed him to teach others these restorative methods.

“For me, yoga is an offering. I need to respect it because it changed my life,” Tim says. “There was a point when I was suicidal and I needed to find something to change my life. Yoga was that something.”

Tim focused his intentions with a trip down the West Coast, a trip he says was necessary to reset himself, to find out who he was and what he wanted out of life. A month later, he walked into a Ferndale yoga studio to try it out. He immediately knew this was something he wanted to practice. He went home that night and asked his wife for a divorce. Moving forward he celebrated a new anniversary, his yoga anniversary, on August 18.

Tim Walker is both a yoga teacher and a student. Photo courtesy: Tim Walker.

From then, things began to shift for Tim. He frequented the studio in Ferndale and soon began yoga teacher training.

Tim taught yoga for a while, but eventually concluded he just wanted to practice. It wasn’t until becoming involved with the Center for Mindful Use that Tim decided to teach yoga again.

He’d heard about the Center for Mindful Use and the variety of mindfulness activities hosted there two years ago. He attended a Wednesday night yoga class where he met people and made friends. It didn’t take long to realize he wanted to be a part of this community. “I’m really grateful to be instructing there,” Tim says. “Without the Center for Mindful Use, I’m not sure if I would have taught yoga again. But remember, I’m also learning too. Every day I teach the practice is another day I also learn more about it.”

For Tim Walker, Yoga marked a new life path. Photo courtesy: Tim Walker.

Tim instructs The Heart School: Everyday Yoga at the Center for Mindful Use every Wednesday evening at 5:55 p.m. His class is donation-based and open to students of all levels. He also runs a men’s group at the Ayurvedic Health Center, is under a mentorship at 3 OMS Yoga, and even works as a mechanic at an auto shop in Mount Vernon.

Tim is a busy man, but he’s created a balance to fortify himself both inwardly and outwardly. He forged a mindset that wasn’t easy to obtain, but the transformative journey was worth every second.
