The B’ham Rock

by AnniePeeJun 27, 2026
This beloved boulder was painted and repainted with messages over many years. We loved looking for it along the road every time we drove up to Bellingham. The DOT decided they needed to remove it as part of a project to reroute the freeway so salmon could swim through the area. Instead of moving the Rock, they broke it into thousands pieces, and with it thousands of hearts.

Thanks! I just happened to order that paper recently, and it arrived just in time to make this layout for the challenge. Every other paper (except for the base) was a scrap.

Great documentation for a sad story! :( Love the photo-realistic papers.

Sad but true. I read that they are going to hand out souvenir pieces of the boulder in a couple of weeks. People have to sign a waiver ahead of time because the rock could potentially contain hazardous materials from all the paints that were used over the past half century. I'm sure it will get crazy! We will be out of town, unfortunately.
