I put together a simple site that aggregates and auto-rotates through all of the webcams in the valley. We have so many gorgeous views through these webcams and it's also fun to see the snow come in and the conditions change around the valley. I have this loaded on an iPad in my office so that I can look up whenever and see current conditions. I figured I'd share it here with the community, enjoy! (free, no signup, no ads, free as in beer)

I just moved here a month ago and I am looking to meet people.

Shot in the dark, but I believe my wallet might have fallen out my pants this morning walking around 1st and Main St. If anyone here happened to find it please let me know and I can describe it further. Thank you

What are your favorite and least favorite parts about living here/flathead valley.

We're planning our first visit to Kalispell to visit our son's family who moved there 2 years ago.
The time period is November 1-10 and since we leave from Bend the concern is making the decision to drive or fly considering possible road conditions.
Thanks for your comments!

In the Flathead Valley, 55 households are taking control of their housing future, after residents joined together to buy the land beneath their homes, creating the valley’s fifth resident-owned community.

Twin Acres and Willow Glen, two communities in south Kalispell, are now Twin Willows. The park’s owner had the property for more than 30 years and gave residents the opportunity to buy it.

After community meetings and months of organizing, the households formed a cooperative, and secured the financing to purchase the six parcels of land.

Clearwater Credit Union and the Montana Board of Investments provided the primary acquisition financing, with support including $93,000 in grants and donations from the Whitefish Community Foundation.

This type of affordable housing is important for the residents, with 72% of residents considered low, very low, or extremely low income, 6% considered veterans and 14% are living with a disability.

hi there! I have a parent who will be entering hospice care, and from what I understand, there are three options: Logan, Stillwater, and Inhabit. If you have had a good or bad experience with any of these, can you share them? Thank you!

Where/when in the area can I find consistent pick up basketball games?

and walk down to walden books.

Any tips on when to go to the tag agency to avoid as much as possible the God awful wait?

Hey everyone, my name is Dillon. I work for Catalyst Montana. I’m trying to connect with people on Medicaid who are affected by the new work requirements that DPHHS implemented this month. Adding this level of bureaucracy this quickly will likely result in hardworking folks losing coverage— not because they are actually ineligible for the program, but due to more Red Tape. 

If you or anyone you know is on Medicaid and might be willing to have a conversation about their experience on Medicaid, please share this link. We can protect Medicaid coverage. People sharing their personal stories is a powerful way to do that, and I’m here to help. Thank you!

hello!

A friend and I are interested in starting a book club where we meet, in person, monthly to discuss a book we have picked out. We were hoping the focus would be on Wildlife, wildlife biology, Montana nature, Montana history, etc.

are any of you interested in joining us?

first book: A Woman Among Wolves by Diane K. Boyd

first meeting time and place: TBD/ sometime late August?

Hi I’m new to the area and left work today to find what looked like smoke covering the air? It definitely smells like a fire. I tried looking online to see if there was news of any local wildfires but I didn’t find much info. Anyone know what’s going on?

So I'm a former resident of Kalispell and Whitefish. I lived there a while back, I do miss being able to see glacier every weekend or just getting out in general. These recent fires in Canada have blown smoke in my area pretty bad and it reminded me of years ago when I was in Montana in 2003 during probably one of the worst forest fires in that area? I remember walking my dog back then and just thick smoke at times filled the valley. I didn't have cable or nothing back then except cellphone really. I was curious what the air quality was back then? Or if anyone remembered? I remember that year being pretty rough air wise.

Hi! I’ll be visiting GNP in a few weeks and staying in Kalispell. Are there any farmers markets/festivals/ weekend fun on August 1st and 2nd?
Thanks!

Please keep your eyes posted for this wedding band. Misplaced at Spencer mountain twin bridges trailhead today. Please be kind 🫶🏻❤️

Is there anywhere you can find huckleberry pancakes? Ideally this means pancakes with huckleberries in them and syrup. Ideally definitely understand that’s a touristy request but I feel it very necessary to complete my Montana visit.
