Good Vibes Mark Allyn Sighting

I saw Mark Allyn the other day. He was dressed in his hand made colorful clothes, pushing his bike, with a big smile and minding his own business. Before I even knew it was him, I saw the colorfulness and it just made me happy, then I realized it was our very own special rainbow and I was even happier. Seeing him is like finding a 4 leaf clover or seeing a double rainbow.

I wish more people expressed that kind of specialness.

I hope you (Mark and everyone else) are well and enjoying life.

I thought about Mark recently! It’s been a bit since I’ve seen one of his posts. Here comes the rain!

I once walking past Mark a year plus ago and said "Hey, it's Mark Allyn! " He looked at me like I was a monster. Have felt bad since and will lower my voice next time.

I saw him few days ago crossing the street and I hollered, "Hey Mark" and he beamed a great smile. He loves when people say hi, as far as I know.

I know he's a good guy. I just scared him I think.

I just wanted to make sure people didn't read into your post the wrong way - I think he likes when people are warm and welcoming to him is all. 🌈 But Mark, let us know! We love you!

not him. this dude looks like he doesn’t care about community building, community activation or encouraging others to be who they are internally. the Bellingham Mark is much superior.

Could be him. Haven't seen an answer yet.

I haven’t seen Mark at one of our Bellingham meetups recently, but I did pass by him at one of the Downtown Sounds. I’ll have to see if it can reel him back in.

I moved to Oregon from Bellingham just over a year ago and I think of Mark often. Visited recently for a weekend and saw him at Haggen, which I was happy about. Very nice person and nothing short of a local legend.
