BELLINGHAM -- A woman has chained herself to the Arctic Challenger, a support ship for Shell Oil's drill rig, in Bellingham Bay, the Bellingham Police Department confirmed Friday night.

"We have spoken with the ship, the Port and the female and will not be taking action to remove her," a police spokesman said. "The ship is not leaving for several days and we will not risk resources or the female."
