Two more overdoses at Civic Field winter shelter

Bellingham Police logs show that officers responded to a pair of separate overdoses on Monday, Dec. 11 and Tuesday, Dec. 12. Both incidents follow another pair of overdoses, including one death, at Civic Field during the opening weekend of its winter shelter program earlier this month.

The shelter is open daily from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. and is located in the locker rooms under the scoreboard at Civic Field.
