WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Democrats saw some pretty significant wins across the country Tuesday night, winning control of both the House and Senate of Congress. In local races, the blue wave was also felt. We sent people from our team to speak with local candidates from both sides of the aisle last night, as well as snap a few images. Here are some images from the Whatcom GOP and Whatcom Democrat election night parties.
