鈥楾is the season to say goodbye to these downtown Bellingham restaurants

It should also be noted that plenty of new restaurants have been opening and many popular places are changing hands, said CJ Seitz of . Simmering Tava  in downtown Bellingham, for example, while Skylark鈥檚 Hidden Cafe in Fairhaven .

The key for restaurant owners to handle the changes is planning, said Seitz in an email. That includes looking at the financial impacts and what can be done to offset the new costs. That could include raising prices, cutting staff hours or trimming menu items.
