About Us

If you’ve ever side-eyed a zoning decision, rolled your eyes at yet another popup pickleball court, or wondered why oat milk lattes now cost more than your rent, you’re in the right place.

Oh, and we’re “fun” too. We call our articles stories “Barnacles.” Think of a Barnacle like a short news blurb, but it’s made up so isn’t really news at all. We asked ChatGPT to think of a maritime version of ‘Tweet’ and liked it. This is the only honest thing on the site (well, this part too…).

Based in Ballard, WA.
