Many dream of having a breathtaking view of Bellingham Bay from their living room window. Having a seemingly bay-sized puddle in the living room, on the other hand, is anything but a dream – and it’s a problem people face every day.

Luckily Gary’s Plumbing and Heating is here for the community 24/7. They’re ready to help in a variety of ways, from fixing a middle-of-the-night leak to completing a remodeling job. “We know what to do, we have the experience and we have the ideal training for our technicians,” says co-owner Mary Gibb.
Gary’s Plumbing and Heating is family-owned and operated. Mary and Gary Gibb have owned the Bellingham business for over a decade – though Gary has been building community connections since 1989.
Back then, Mary and Gary fell in love with Bellingham and decided to stay. “Bellingham has that really unique feel,” Mary says. “We love to hike, take our dogs out and go down by the water.”
While they didn’t originally plan on becoming business owners, it was a natural fit. Gary had built a career and felt it was time to go out on his own. “At first, Gary was going to work out of a truck,” Mary says. “People kept calling him up and really knew of his expertise.”
It quickly became clear a full-service company was in order and, for Gary’s Plumbing and Heating, service is key. They focus on building relationships and giving customers the best service possible.
Their technicians are well-equipped to handle any situation with knowledge, skill and customer service. Each is fully licensed and has up-to-date knowledge of the latest technology and industry standards. They examine the issue, then evaluate and present the customer with options. They even provide the final price up front. “People really appreciate our work,” Mary says. “Our plumbers are so dedicated; they have the aptitude and expertise in mechanical skills, they work well in a team and they also communicate in a professional manner to give quality service to the customer. There are a lot of aspects to this line of work!”
The business’ dedication to excellence extends to its employees, as well. Mary and Gary take special care to train every team member and ensure each technician has what they need with fully equipped trucks.
Services at Gary’s Plumbing and Heating fall into four categories: plumbing, heating, emergency and commercial services.

The team is ready tackle any plumbing need including toilet, sink, faucet and shower repairs; re-piping services and sewer services. They also install garbage disposals and backflow-preventing devices.
Technicians arrive with their own equipment, which saves customers a lot of time and money. There are no costly rental fees or delays waiting for the right tools. The trucks are stocked and are like rolling warehouses, full of the necessary equipment needed when a plumbing disaster strikes.
Heating
There are a wide range of Heating services including heating and furnace, gas line, boiler and ductless mini-split installation. Gary’s Plumbing and Heating offers both installation and repairs.
Commercial Plumbing
In addition to residential, the company also offers commercial plumbing services. Their project list includes retail, industrial, medical and office spaces. A deep understanding of complex plumbing systems is evident in their exemplary work.
It’s important to hire a professional plumber for any problem or installation to detect issues that might go unnoticed by a less-trained eye. This is especially true with more intricate and extensive commercial projects.
Emergency Services

Possibly the most essential service Gary’s offers is emergency plumbing. Nothing else matters if you have leaking pipes, spewing faucets, clogged plumbing or anything similar. These are panic-inducing situations and Gary’s team is on the ready 24/7 to assist customers and get those problems solved.
In case of a plumbing emergency, Gary’s Plumbing and Heating offers the following advice: Start by stopping the flow of water, if possible. This means you need to know the location of the shutoff valve for every fixture and appliance, as well as the main shutoff valve for the house. If the main shutoff isn’t working or breaks, you may need to call the city and ask them to turn off the water at the meter.
If sewage is backing up in multiple drains like the shower, toilet and sink, stop using all water fixtures immediately. Then give Gary’s Plumbing and Heating a call. They can turn a desperate situation around and have you back in working order as quickly as possible. They are also partnered with reputable businesses you may need if this happens.
Gary’s Plumbing and Heating is well known for their prompt, professional service and outstanding results. Hear what others have to say in their reviews. Gary, Mary and their team of technicians will ensure you get the care you deserve.
Tiffany built her company from the ground up. Photo courtesy: Tiffany Sturgeon.
I first came into contact with Tiffany Sturgeon, owner of 24 HR TAXI, when hiring her taxi service to take me from my home to the airport very early in the morning. She was rightfully proud of the success she has had in her short time in business. 24 HR TAXI is less than two years old and is thriving.
24 HR TAXI is built from the ground up, starting off with nothing but a cash advance from Sturgeon’s credit card. In the fury of Uber and Lyft, when many taxi companies in larger cities are feeling the pressure of this multimillion dollar competition, she isn’t worried at all. She is building her business through hard work, dedication and great customer service.

Sturgeon started her career running a doctor’s office. Here she learned to make appointments and balance the books. She took a break and went to school to become a paralegal but became bored with the classes and needed to get back to work. She then found a job managing a liquor store where she learned how to manage staff and run a business. Financially, the liquor store job wasn’t working for her, so she looked elsewhere for something with more promise.
Through an acquaintance she found a job working as a driver for a taxi company. Here she made more working four 12 hour shifts as a driver than she had in three weeks as a liquor store manager. “Everything is a learning experience,” she says.
As an employee, Sturgeon felt the taxi company’s margins were too large and didn’t offer a comfortable living to their drivers. After forming her own company, she found a better way to pay her drivers and give them the potential to earn a livable wage. Cultivating happy employees is working out for her – she has experienced business growth every month since the company was started.
One thing that helps her business in the wake of larger companies is that their technology often fails. High-tech companies run on phone apps that aren’t always reliable. When these fail, customers are left waiting and often appreciate a real person answering the phone.
24 HR TAXI is always on time and has two great looking Chrysler 300 cars that are spotless and professional. Sturgeon’s rates are competitive and she doesn’t use surge pricing. She says she would rather have repeat customers who trust her than take advantage of busy times and holiday traffic. She also offers flat rate rides to students and faculty from Western Washington University.
It’s hard not to appreciate Sturgeon’s dedication. As a woman in the taxi cab business, she is an enigma. She goes above and beyond by meeting parents outside of the car to build trust so they feel comfortable with her picking up their children from school and shuttling them to events. She and her driving staff really enjoy this task and have created personal relationships with the children while filling a need in their lives.
Sturgeon describes her favorite patrons as those picked up from bars late at night. The rambunctious customers really leave her smiling and make work interesting. “They’re funny, entertaining and have a genuine good time,” she says. After the super bowl her car was turned into a mobile karaoke studio with riders plugging their phones in to her surround sound system. A drunk sing along with a sober driver is always a good time. “I hear some pretty interesting conversations,” Sturgeon says, adding that she’d love to install a camera to catch some of the stories.

Sturgeon was born and raised in Whatcom County. She loves the people here and appreciates the wholesomeness and lack of crime in our community – being a female taxi driver in some cities would be more difficult. Here in Whatcom County she is an inspiration to young people with dreams of opening a business. Her personal dedication is reflected on every review board of her service.
She currently has five employees and is looking to hire another driver and expand her fleet with a larger car to accommodate more passengers. While working 60-70 hours a week, through the night, she sleeps between reservations. Her mantra is, “failure is not an option.” She is driven by the need for success and to be a good role model for her children.
Sturgeon has three boys and enjoys watching them play sports, going to the arcade and watching movies with them when she’s not working. She hopes to pass the company to her son in two years. She wants to show her kids that anything is possible through hard work and dedication – even a woman owned taxi company.

Old World Deli is known for having the best sandwiches. They back up this reputation with their phenomenal handmade meats, crafted in-house by Zach Holmes and Phil Mulligan, the morning and evening managers at this popular food and wine establishment. Zach and Phil have worked together for the last seven years creating lunch and dinner specials, which tend to focus on a specific meat made fresh that week; porchetta, pancetta, bacon and sausage are just some of the delicious meats made in-house.
Pastrami Carving Night was a great success. Photo courtesy: Old World Deli.
Zach and Phil felt the meat wasn’t getting enough of the spotlight. So they came up with Carving Night, the newest addition to Old World Deli’s collective of special events. Every third Thursday of the month, Carving Night will feature a freshly-crafted meat. The idea is to take the meat at its peak flavor point and serve it immediately.
Carving Night is a family-style roast. Tables are set up in the center of the restaurant and staff run the evening from the middle of the room. Tables are converted into serving and carving stations and condiments are displayed at the end of the line.
This porchetta is flavorful and expertly crafted. Photo courtesy: Old World Deli.
For April, spicy pickled vegetables, an aioli and Breadfarm buns will accompany their housemade porchetta. “It will be a build-your-own sandwich night,” Zach says.
Customers will watch as a staff member slices fresh porchetta onto their bun. Once their hefty helping of meat is secured, guests will build the rest of the sandwich with various toppings.
Last month marked the first Carving Night, with pastrami. Phil declared it a success, which convinced them that Carving Nights should be a monthly occurrence. Carving Nights were also inspired by the success of their Paella Nights, which happen every second Thursday of the month.
Old World Deli goes to great lengths to prepare artisan house-made meats. Photo courtesy: Old World Deli.
“Thursday has generally been our slowest day of the week,” Zach says, “which is why we introduced Paella Nights. Now they sell out; we even take call-ahead reservations for them. We’re hoping the same happens with Carving Nights.”
Paella Night sticks to the family-style dinner theme. The staff prepares the traditionally Valencian dish in a massive paella pan, using ingredients such as prawns, chicken and chorizo. Customers line up to grab a plate of paella, which can be paired with Old World Deli’s wide wine selection. Some people even opt to make it a full meal.
The specially curated filling makes this porchetta especially mouth-watering. Photo courtesy: Old World Deli.
During the Carving and Paella Nights, Old World Deli is still open for regular business, which means attendees can make use of their evening specials board by adding small plates or sides to their main course.
The evening specials start at 4:00 p.m. and run Thursday through Sunday. They feature small plates ranging in price from $5.95 to $9.95. Lamb skewers, chicken empanadas and homemade naan with a beet puree, date syrup and house ricotta are just a few of the specials Phil and Zach have dreamed up. “We used to do these specials thematically,” Phil says. “But now we realize it doesn’t always have to have a theme. You could have a bunch of different specials on the board that don’t necessarily match up and people still want to buy them.”

Phil’s favorite evening special was their Bánh mì Dip – Old World Deli’s own take on traditionally Vietnamese sandwiches. They served the baguette-style sandwich as you would a French dip, but with an au jus made of pho broth. Ideas like this illustrate why Old World Deli is such a fun place to eat – there’s always something new.
“I love vegetables, so I try to do something with vegetables every once in a while,” Phil says. He emphasizes this statement by taking a bite of a gigantic salad filled with what I imagine is every vegetable in the restaurant. Phil and Zach have free range in creating what interests them, so there’s a good chance this gargantuan salad could make the evening special board at some point. If it does, count me in. Just like everything else dished out by the deli – it looks good.
Pregnancy and early parenthood is a special but often difficult time. The right support can make all the difference. Photo courtesy: PeaceHealth Medical Group.
Diagnosing and treating depression can be tricky. But identifying and addressing depression that occurs before or after childbirth is further complicated because many symptoms mirror normal pregnancy and postpartum occurrences including anxiety, fatigue, negative body image, crying, loss of appetite, impaired concentration and insomnia.

“With a new baby you’re going to have sleep issues and fatigue,” says Dr. Dina Levin, MD. “This can cause diminished ability to think or concentrate, which is really challenging. But what isn’t normal are recurring thoughts of death or worthlessness.”
About 10 percent of pregnant women will experience some symptoms of postpartum depression in the first 12 months after childbirth – and anyone with a history of depression is more susceptible. Perinatal depression, which occurs before delivery, is also common. PeaceHealth Medical Group Women’s Health is instituting a program to help new mothers manage depression.
The CenteringPregnancy program offers prenatal care and education in a supportive group environment. Women are scheduled to meet with a consistent group of other women who have similar due dates over the course of 10 sessions, to receive prenatal care and prepare for childbirth. Topics include nutrition, self-care, breastfeeding, the birth experience, planning pediatric care, pregnancy to parenting transition (including postpartum mood disorders) and newborn care in the first month. The group also discusses pre-planned topics and participates in an activity like prenatal yoga. Facilitated discussions help build a support network within the group, which continues to meet into early postpartum.

CenteringPregnancy appointments include monthly prenatal checkups with a consistent healthcare provider. The program offers all of the prenatal medical care you would expect from PeaceHealth with the added benefit of a supportive group of women that are experiencing the same stages of pregnancy.
Many patients are hesitant to seek counseling or a support group after the birth of their child. The CenteringPregnancy program works well because it builds a support group as you prepare for childbirth. If a participant starts experiencing postpartum depression symptoms, there is already a group of women they have bonded with and can go to for support.

Dr. Levin has seen this firsthand. “One of my patients in the CenteringPregnancy group did get depressed,” says Dr. Levin. She had trouble adjusting after her husband went back to work. “But she reached out to some members of the group and they went out for coffee. She had new friends that were going through similar experiences and they helped her get through that difficult time. She had someone outside her family to talk to and that bond made the transition easier for her.”
These groups are invaluable during a time that can be marked by acute vulnerability, isolation, hormonal and identity changes. A connection with others who understand can alleviate stress, and close friendships make even the most difficult experiences less trying. Some families have these connections built in but in our increasingly mobile society, more and more families are scattered to the winds and find themselves on their own. PeaceHealth is creating built-in communities and fostering friendships forged in the fire of early parenthood, bonded for life.

PeaceHealth also supports new mothers with lactation consultations. Issues with breastfeeding often lead to frustrations that can compound any depressive symptoms a new mother may be experiencing.
If a more severe form of postpartum depression is diagnosed, especially if a mother or baby is in danger, every available resource is used to treat the patient. “If you are feeling at your wit’s end, put your baby in the crib and call someone to come help you,” says Dr. Levin. She believes having a strong support system in place is very important.
PeaceHealth Medical Group’s Women’s Health Clinic doctors can provide antidepressant medication to keep you and your baby safe, even while breastfeeding. Once a diagnosis has been made and a care plan is in place, nurses conduct follow-up to ensure that patients are seeking further treatment from counseling or their primary care physicians.
The Bellingham Center for Healthy Motherhood is a great resource for counseling and support group services for new mothers. Anyone experiencing an urgent mental health crisis should call the North Sound Mental Health Administration 24-hour crisis line at 1-800-584-3578. There is hope – and, with the proper help, things will get better.

Eggs weren’t the only thing served at Over Easy in Sunnyland Square on March 7. On this day, a lone man’s order of chicken and waffles came with a side of justice.

It was a typical spring afternoon in Bellingham – rainy, 50 degrees and overcast. Owner Jamie Bohnett and his staff had gotten through the brunch rush and the end of the workday was on the horizon. As they started to close down, a lone customer walked into the restaurant and sat down to order a meal. At first, Bohnett thought nothing of it, but then things took an interesting turn.
Bohnett has always loved the breakfast diner business model – open from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. You get to work early and get out early. But today would be different. In addition to the customer who had just walked in, a woman and her son also sat nearby. It was no big deal to Bohnett, however; as a restaurant owner this is expected and business is business.
After a waitress brought the customer his meal, Bohnett noticed two more men walk into the restaurant. They opted to sit down at the 50s-inspired bar in front. “I remember thinking it was kind of strange,” Bohnett says. “The two men at the bar acted like they were going to order, but they never did. At one point they seemed slightly nervous and suddenly one of them left to go make a call.”

Following the phone call, five additional men met the caller and followed him back into the restaurant. At the time, Bohnett was situated behind a wall on the far side of the establishment. He went to the front to see his potentially profitable table. “I thought, ‘Wow, are all these guys really coming in here to eat?’” he recalls. “It was going to be a table of six big guys and we had better be ready to feed them.”
As hungry as these six men may have been, they had a job to do and their hunger would have to wait. These men were FBI agents and they were at the restaurant to make a much-awaited arrest.
Before Bohnett could present the men with menus, the lone customer eating chicken and waffles stood up and put his arms behind his back. The FBI agents handcuffed and took him away. There was no resisting and no violence – just compliance as the man was led out of the breakfast establishment.

The whole event was over in five minutes. Bohnett says there was no commotion whatsoever and the situation was handled quietly.
“We have police officers come in to eat at our place regularly and we really appreciate law enforcement,” Bohnett says. “These guys are all real top-of-the line people – great guys who are extremely professional and did their job very well.”
Business was able to continue as normal after the arrest. Bohnett says everyone who worked that day was shaken up but were able to continue on with their duties.
After it all went down, Bohnett still wasn’t sure exactly what had happened. Everything transpired so quickly and information was scarce. “The FBI weren’t allowed to tell me anything,” he says. “So the next day, after I was interviewed by the [Bellingham] Herald, I read their story and saw the man’s charges.”
From timeless comfort food to healthy options, Over Easy is the local gathering place for good company and good food. Photo courtesy: Over Easy.
The man who ordered the chicken and waffles had been booked on charges of racketeering, drug-trafficking, conspiracy and money-laundering. All serious charges, carrying hefty sentences. According to the Bellingham Herald, if convicted, the man could face life in prison.
Bohnett says he and his staff were lucky the situation wasn’t more serious and there was no violence in the restaurant. “For a restaurant, you never know who comes in,” Bohnett says. “We’ve had all kinds of people come in here and we try to give them a good experience. We don’t take shortcuts. We use fresh ingredients, real maple syrup, real butter and provide people with quality food.”
A week later, the mother and son who sat at the table next to the arrestee came back to the restaurant, returning for more delicious food that a man would risk his freedom for. The mother smiled at Bohnett and said, “Not too much happening here this week, is there?”

Bill and Amanda came in the second day we were open, May 1, 2015, when as Bill said, “Everything was wrong.” That’s not surprising, as the Bellingham Herald let the word out that we were open and it seemed like half the town decided to check us out when we weren’t quite ready to handle the crowd.
Bill and Amanda love to start their day at Over Easy. Photo courtesy: Over Easy.
But Bill and Amanda came back again and again and again! It’s no exaggeration to say that if they don’t show up on one of our seven days we are open, we wonder why. They are that consistent.
Our servers know exactly what Bill and Amanda want when they sit down. They start with a Diet Coke and a regular Coke. Then 90 percent of the time the order is as follows: Amanda orders our breakfast sandwich, egg over easy, American cheese, crispy bacon and hashbrowns. For Bill, we have what we call “Bill’s grill,” grilled sourdough bread, bacon, tomato and American cheese. He has fruit on the side, but we replace the blueberries with a few extra strawberries for him.
With all of the choices of where to eat breakfast or lunch in Bellingham, why do they come back almost daily? “We love the servers here. They are very pleasant.”
Bill and Amanda are like family at Over Easy. I joke with Bill about our political differences, lament about the Mariners never quite making the playoffs and the Seahawks’ perpetual lack of an offensive line.
Over Easy Café Bellingham will celebrate being open for three years on April 30th. We couldn’t imagine the past three years without Bill and Amanda Taylor!

Unity Care NW is pleased to announce that we will soon be breaking ground on a new North Whatcom Health Center located in Ferndale.
The North Whatcom Health Center will expand access to primary medical, dental, behavioral health and pharmacy services in north Whatcom County. Located in Ferndale off of Portal Way, the new 23,000 sq. ft. health center will serve 9,500 patients. It will include 12 dental operatories, expanding access to adult dental care in our community. The facility will also have the most comprehensive behavioral health services in Whatcom County, outside of Bellingham. It will employ 60 full-time staff and will contribute to the revitalization of Ferndale’s Portal Way corridor.
Construction was originally planned for 2017, with an anticipated opening in 2018. Uncertainty around the future of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion, however, caused our Board of Directors to delay the project. Uncertainty concerning the future of health care remains, but with the award of a capital grant from the Washington State Legislature and New Market Tax Credits, private foundation support as well as other fundraising opportunities underway, we are now moving forward. We will break ground this summer and expect to open our doors to patients in the summer of 2019.
This project will improve the lives of Whatcom County residents. Access to dental care is consistently ranked as one of the most needed but least available services in our community. This project will enable Unity Care NW to serve more Whatcom County adults and children. It will provide an on-site pharmacy option for our patients and expand access to much-needed behavioral health and wellness services.
