Whatcom County Water Rescue Task Force Assists Multiple Individuals During Training Operations on the Nooksack River

Today, members of the Whatcom County Water Rescue Task Force conducted river training operations on the Nooksack River in preparation for the upcoming Ski to Sea event.

During the training, multiple Ski to Sea participants and canoes were observed practicing on the river in advance of Sunday’s race.

While traveling upstream, rescue personnel encountered a disabled vessel unrelated to the Ski to Sea event drifting downstream. The occupants requested assistance and were safely towed approximately 10 miles to the Lynden Boat Launch without incident.

The task force later continued upstream to Everson before returning downstream. During the return trip, rescuers observed individuals on shore waving their arms and directing attention toward a large tree in the river. Rescue personnel located two individuals clinging to the tree with no canoe in sight.

Rescuers safely recovered both individuals from the river and transported them back to their vehicle in Lynden. No injuries were reported and life jackets were worn.

The Whatcom County Water Rescue Task Force reminds the public to wear properly fitted personal flotation devices, use caution while recreating on the river, and always be prepared for changing river conditions.

The Whatcom County Water Rescue Task Force is a combined-effort response team consisting of members from Everson Police Department, Sumas Police Department, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office, and Whatcom County Search and Rescue.

THEFT OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT – COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE REQUESTED

The Everson Police Department is investigating a theft that occurred in a construction zone near Mead Ave, Kale Street, and Everson Goshen Road.

On 04/24/2026 at approximately 11:00 PM, multiple traffic control devices were taken from an active sidewalk project being conducted by Raw Land Construction. Stolen items included traffic barrels with lights, additional barricade lights, custom WSDOT-required signs, and approximately 25–30 traffic cones. Some items have since been returned; however, several are still outstanding.

⚠️ These devices are critical for roadway safety. Removing them creates a hazard for both drivers and pedestrians.

📸 BOLO VEHICLE:
Investigators are attempting to identify a light-colored, full-size pickup truck (crew cab, short bed) seen in the area around the time of the theft. Most likely a light colored Ford F150.

If you have:

-Surveillance footage from the area
-Information about the vehicle or individuals involved
-Knowledge of the missing equipment

Please contact the Everson Police Department or submit information via private message.

🚓🚒 Career Day at Nooksack Valley Middle School!

Everson Police Department and WCFD #1 were both out at NVMS today talking with students about careers in public safety… just in different classrooms (probably for the best 😂).

After seeing the fire department’s gear and tools, we’re pretty sure Officer Barry is questioning his life choices 👀🔥

Chainsaws, extrication tools, big red trucks… yeah, we get it.

All jokes aside, it was a great day connecting with students and sharing what we do to serve our community.

Rumor has it cops just became firefighters’ biggest fans (maybe a little jealous).

Don’t worry though- we’ll still remind everyone who the true first responders are 😎🚔
