Snoqualmie · North Bend · Fall City · Carnation
Every town used to have a town crier — one voice, in the square, telling you what was happening today. Snoqualmie has the square. This is the voice.
See it, take it with you, be on it
One board, three ways in.
The TV version is the public screen — the one in the room. The Board version is the same board on a phone, and the TV tells you how to get there: scan the code on the wall and it comes with you, out the door. And if you run something here, there's room for you on it.
The TV version
/tv
The public screen. The whole board, running all day, nothing to touch — a lobby, a taproom, a waiting room, a classroom. It carries a QR code so anyone in the room can take the board with them.

/board
Where that code lands. The same board on a phone — plus the parts you can answer back to: call Friday's game, send a shoutout, keep a business's directions in your hand.

A board of your own, in the rotation
Your shop gets the whole screen for a few seconds at a time, with your real hours on it and a QR to your door. Nonprofits, schools, clubs and community events go on free.
Put your business on it ›The idea
We can give ourselves more than we can wait to be given.
That argument is winning in bigger rooms than ours right now: a community that pulls in the same direction can build something for itself that no outside party was ever going to hand over. It applies here, at the scale of one valley.
Snoqualmie already has everything it needs. Farms that open their fields in July. A railway museum that runs real trains. A high school with a football schedule. A shelter that answers the phone when someone has nowhere else to call. Dozens of businesses that sponsor the parade, feed the team, and keep the lights on downtown.
What it never had was one place where all of it is visible at once. Each business advertises alone. Each organization posts to its own page. Each of us finds out about the thing we would have loved — the day after it happened.
Attention is the one local resource we export for free — and then buy back at a premium.
Every scroll on a national feed carries a little of this valley's attention somewhere else, and sells it back to the shops on Railroad Avenue at auction prices. A community board keeps it circulating at home: the neighbor checking the bus time also learns who's open late, what the Wildcats are doing Friday, and who needs volunteers this week.
No single business here could put a storefront on every screen in town. Together, they already have one.
On the board right now
Useful first. Everything else follows.
The board earns its place on the wall by being genuinely worth looking at — so the local business that airs beside it is seen by someone who was already paying attention.
That's a sample. The board runs on thirty-six live channels — roads, ferries, Amtrak, gas prices, big shows and their on-sale dates, the Savannah Bananas, games, schools, jobs, movies, the museum's trains — the full tour is here.
Two sides of the same screen
It serves the community, and it introduces the businesses that serve it too.
Free, and free of the usual cost
- No account, no login, no algorithm deciding what you're allowed to see
- Works on the TV in a lobby and on the phone in your pocket — same board, same moment
- Talk back: send a shoutout, call the Friday game, vote in the weekly town poll, play the closest-guess games, step onto Speaker's Corner

- It updates itself all day — nothing to refresh, nothing to install
- Family-friendly mode for venues that need it
Seen by neighbors, not by an auction
- Your board airs in every rotation, all day — presence, not an impression you rent
- It knows your hours: the board says Open til 9 PM while you're open, and changes when you close
- A QR that puts your address in someone's phone while they're standing three minutes away
- You can see how many times you aired today. No modelled reach, no estimates
- Costs less than boosting one post — and every dollar of it stays in the valley
How to be on it
If you run something here, there's room for you on the board.
Businesses, nonprofits, the school, the churches, the clubs, the farm stand that's only open in August. If it matters to people who live here, it belongs on the board — and most of it costs nothing to add. Tell us what you'd want the valley to know, and we'll put it up.
