At Monday’s city council meeting, the council unanimously passed an ordinance outlawing the sale, distribution, and manufacture of Kratom and its derivatives. The new law goes into effect on November 1st.

The Blaine City Council teamed up with Chief Funk and Blaine PD to proactively advise businesses throughout the city of the upcoming ban.

The ban does not make possession of Kratom illegal, only the sale and distribution of it.

For more info on Kratom, visit: https://www.addicted.org/addiction/opioids/kratom/

Thank you to the Blaine Primary PTO for inviting us to the school’s Trunk or Treat event. We had a great time along side our friends from North Whatcom Fire and Rescue - WCFD 21 and the US Border Patrol Blaine Sector.

Also, we got to meet Morgan, a very friendly spider-dog. She is an emotional support dog from the US Border Patrol. Her job is to assist officers and agents who have just been involved in critical incidents (traumatic calls).

Tomorrow is the Great Shakeout! There will be all sorts of earthquake drills. Be prepared.

On Oct. 15, 2026, students, families, neighbors and employees will drop, cover and hold on for the Great Washington ShakeOut, part of the country’s largest earthquake drill. The event also includes siren tests and evacuation drills in some schools.

At 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, you’re invited to drop, cover and hold on wherever you are – whether it’s at work, home or school. Practicing builds muscle memory for when the real earthquake comes. This will help you react quicker and be safer. A drill recording is available to help with the experience.

At about the same time, more than 120 Washington tsunami sirens along the inner and outer coast will be tested using the real wailing sound of a tsunami warning, not the Westminster Chimes that are typically used during the monthly tests. PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911.

There WILL be a test of the Emergency Alert System on radio and television this year.

The Wireless Emergency Alert text system on cell phones will NOT be tested.

Those who have downloaded the free MyShake Earthquake Early Warning App on their phones will get a test. Sirens related to the Columbia Generating Station will be tested in the Tri-Cities areas and some local jurisdictions will test their reverse 911 and opt-in text alerts. NOAA Weather Radios will also sound an alarm. To make sure you’re signed up for alerts, visit https://mil.wa.gov/alerts

Lahar sirens in Pierce County will not be tested.

This year’s ShakeOut theme is “Prepared Neighbors.” After a major earthquake and/or tsunami, there will be help coming in the forms of first responders and assistance coming in from all over the country. But in the immediate aftermath of a quake, individuals and neighbors in local communities will be the first ones responding. In addition to practicing Drop, Cover, and Hold On this ShakeOut, everyone is encouraged to do at least one more thing to help their neighborhood become more prepared. Learn more at https://mil.wa.gov/neighborhoods

Registration isn’t required but it helps the state understand how effective its outreach is. It’s also free and easy to register at https://www.shakeout.org/washington

At last night's city council meeting, Chief Rodger Funk had the honor of issuing awards to three officers.

During an incident that occurred in August, the three officers performed life-saving measures on a man in medical distress in the 300 block of D Street.

Officer W. Dimezza was issued a life-saving service award.

Officer A. Richardson was issued a life-saving service award.

Sergeant J. Maphumulo was issued a meritorious service medal, as this was the 4th time he had received a life-saving service commendation.

Kudos to all! You serve your community with duty, integrity, and accountability every day.
