Ferndale is open!
Fortunately, we appear to have avoided major damage in this morning's earthquake. Thank you, friends of Ferndale, for your well wishes.
✅️ Fernbridge is open. As always, check Caltrans QuickMap for updates. Caltrans says, "A preliminary inspection showed minor damage that can be addressed in project-related activities at a later date."
✅️ Many Ferndale businesses are open tonight as planned (Thursday 12/5), while a few have closed for the day in order to clean up. Check out our Instagram story, where we will do our best to keep you updated.
✅️ We expect Hospitality Night to proceed as planned tomorrow (Friday 12/6 from 5:00-9:00pm). We look forward welcoming visitors as shops and restaurants stay open late to celebrate the holiday season!
✅️ Our Christmas tree — America's tallest lighted living Christmas tree — will continue to be lit for all to enjoy!
