Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, June 12. It is a beautiful summer morning in Boulder, and as the city wakes up, we’ve got the latest from around town to keep you informed and connected.
Boulder continues to process the aftermath of the tragic attack that took place on Pearl Street Mall earlier this month. Authorities have identified all eight victims who were injured during the demonstration and vigil for Israeli hostages, and the community has come together in support of those impacted. Law enforcement responded quickly to the attack, which involved incendiary devices and resulted in two people being airlifted to a burn unit. The suspect is now in custody and faces federal hate crime charges, with local officials, including the Boulder District Attorney and Colorado Attorney General, voicing support for those affected. The city continues to demonstrate resilience, coming together with renewed calls for unity and vigilance in public spaces.
On the public safety front, Boulder County remains under Stage 1 fire restrictions as wildfire risk stays high, especially in the western unincorporated areas. These restrictions are a reminder to be cautious outdoors, especially as the summer sun dries out the foothills. If you’re heading out to enjoy local trails or plan on camping, check the latest guidelines and please help keep our open spaces safe.
Speaking of the great outdoors, Boulder Creek is once again open for tubing after the recent ban was lifted. Grab those tubes and make the most of the cooling waters, but remember safety first—conditions can change quickly this time of year.
Tonight, you can check out live music on Pearl Street Mall, where local performers will be busking throughout the evening, bringing some much-needed joy and energy to the heart of downtown. Farmers’ markets are in full swing, so swing by the Boulder County Farmers Market this afternoon for fresh produce, pastries, and locally roasted coffee—there’s nothing like those Colorado cherries in June.
For those seeking a quieter escape, the Gregory Canyon trail is open, and recent wildland fires there have been fully contained thanks to quick work from local fire crews. It’s a perfect day for a hike in our beautiful foothills.
And as always, keep an eye out for updates from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office. From fire restrictions to community events, they’re keeping us all safe and informed.
That wraps up today’s local roundup. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
