The Ferndale Giving Store needs your help!
It's that time of year again and due to unforeseen circumstances, the
Ferndale Giving Store is making a late start
this year; staff are rushing to make up for lost time and empty shelves. Please
do what you can to help them help our community's needy
families!
Property Auction Coming Soon
The Ferndale Police Department processes all unclaimed property per RCW 63.32. Unclaimed property that is appropriate for auction is submitted to
PropertyRoom.com to be sold on their website, with half of the proceeds returned to the City of Ferndale.
In December 2011 we submitted a batch of property to PropertyRoom.com that should be up for auction in
January. A manifest of the items going up for sale is
posted here as well as in the lobby of the Ferndale Police Department.
95% of the items on the auction site start with a $1.00 opening bid and close at the
final, highest bid without a reserve price. So why not do a little
post-Christmas shopping and
help your community
at the same time?
Due to staffing cutbacks, we have changed our regular office hours to 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. There may be times when the office is closed during those hours; if so a notice will be posted on the front door and the phones will be answered by voice mail. Please leave a message and we will respond as soon as we are able.
Officers are on duty 24 hours a day and can be reached for any reason by calling 9-1-1 or, from outside Whatcom County, 360-676-6911.
Thanks to the Salvation Army Emergency Assistance Program, the Ferndale Police Department is able to provide short term financial help to Ferndale residents and travelers who have experienced an emergency and are in need of financial aid. Types of assistance include food, gas, home heating fuels, bus fare, and in extreme emergencies, shelter for families with children. Please call or stop in for further information.
