BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A big one-day surge in new coronavirus positives in Whatcom County Tuesday.

The state’s risk dashboard puts the two-week rate per 100,000 population down to 46.6, which while lower, is still nearly twice the state’s goal.
That dashboard also shows that available hospital capacity has dropped to 12%, with three county patients hospitalized for COVID-19.
