NOT THE MIRROR
Stand Up Federal Way Blog
We launched this blog in response to Federal Way's need for another voice. The Mirror of Federal Way, our local newspaper, has become an echo chamber, offering only a surface reflection of the community. Here, we provide a deep dive into issues, uncovering hidden truths and offering a platform for diverse voices and perspectives that are often overlooked.
Ground rules:
Anyone can submit a post. We will try to accommodate many voices as long as they focus on Federal Way.
Topics may not be specifically partisan.
Topics must be local. If it is not a hyper-local topic, you need to have tied your topic to how it affects Federal Way directly.
All dialogue is to remain respectful. You don't have to agree with a post to comment. Healthy debate is welcome! However, name-calling and personal attacks will be deleted. (We don't have time to babysit.)
We'll add rules as stuff comes up. Please don't make us add rules.
