Bellingham, WALocal News

The Seattle Mariners return from the All-Star break to face the Houston Astros, who currently lead them by five games in the AL West. Luis Castillo will take the mound for the Mariners, who lost four of their previous seven matchups against Houston. In another sporting event, the Bells host the Victoria HarbourCats, looking to extend a four-game winning streak after a rocky start to the season. The Seahawks made headlines by signing rookie safety Nick Emmanwori to a fully guaranteed contract, a first for a player selected 35th overall. This decision reflects a broader trend in the NFL following the Texans' guarantee of their 34th overall pick's contract.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks placed veteran edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu on the physically unable to perform list due to a knee injury, limiting his availability for the upcoming season. Players on this list can be activated at any time during training camp, leaving room for hope regarding Nwosu's return. Local sports fans can also enjoy the Razz Fest in Lynden, featuring a 3-on-3 basketball tournament with over 200 teams participating.
