Pure Bliss Desserts expands
Pure Bliss Desserts is planning an expansion in downtown Bellingham called Flourish by Pure Bliss, a new event space.
“Flourish will be a beautiful event space available for rent to help celebrate any and all occasions,” Andi Vann, owner of Pure Bliss Desserts, told The Bellingham Herald.
The new event space will be located at 1422 Cornwall Ave. in downtown Bellingham. Pure Bliss Desserts is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at 1424 Cornwall Ave.
Smash Alley returns
Downtown Bellingham rage room Smash Alley is reopening at a new location after moving.
“We had to close our doors temporarily at the end of December. One door closes, another one opens. We thought we had more time at our OG location, our first next potential home fell through, after everything, we made it out the other side, with a brand new location secured for Smash Alley,” a Jan. 11 Facebook post from the business states.
The business invites guests into their safety-controlled rage room to relieve some stress by smashing, breaking and destroying items like car windshields, glass bottles, electronics, toilets, windows and more.
Smash Alley will reopen at noon Friday, Jan. 23. No regular operating hours have been announced. Reservations can be made online in advance. Smash Alley is at 930 North State St. in Bellingham.
