The story of Whatcom Creek: an explosion, a tragedy, and a rebirth

<p>This is not an easy story to tell. In the town where I live, Bellingham, Washington, there&rsquo;s a beautiful urban creek. It flows just four miles from a lake, through a city park, down through the town to the sea. But in the summer of 1999, disaster struck. A gasoline pipeline ruptured, causing an explosion. Young lives were lost, and the creek and the ecosystems around it were obliterated.&nbsp;</p> <p>But amid the destruction, amid all the loss, the creek found a way to find life again. And the people of Bellingham somehow found a way to move forward.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a story about the strength of the human spirit and how a community, a creek, and the once-thriving forest that it passed through began to recover after losing so much.&nbsp;</p> <p>We would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of Liam Wood, Wade King and Stephen Tsiorvas. Our hearts go out to their families.</p> <p><em>Enjoy BONUS CONTENT and help us continue to create this special immersive storytellin...
