Nextdoor
There is a free social website called Nextdoor that many Bellingham neighborhoods are using to enhance communications between neighbors. It’s a great way to share information about local concerns (e.g., car prowls), lost pets, etc. Our neighborhood police officers use Next Door to post alerts, answer questions, and receive non-emergency messages.
