Country music fan is two-stepping her way to a new Ferndale business

Lifelong country music fan Jessie Anderson has wondered why Whatcom County has few choices to dance, so she decided to do something about it.

On Friday, May 13, Anderson opened the Kickin’ A Saloon & Dance Hall at 5225 Industrial Way in Ferndale, near Walton Beverage. The 4,500-square-foot saloon has a 1,300-square-foot dance area with music five days a week. The hall also will offer dance lessons from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. Tuesday through Friday for those who want to learn line dancing, the two-step and country swing.
