An independent antifascist news website amplifying Pacific Northwestern community voices.
About
Through the Static (TtS) is a Seattle-based independent and antifascist news website and hub – by the community, for the community! TtS covers the Pacific Northwest and focuses on news that would otherwise not reach media headlines.
The U.S. is in the midst of fascism and the normalization period, and we see many politely wash over worsening atrocities committed by our governments. We want to cut through that static.
Hannah Saunders (she/her) left her position as editor-in-chief at the Seattle Gay News (SGN) to launch this venture. This team is made up entirely of volunteers with vast experience in the news industry, including Alex Garland, Doulgas Cueva, and others.
Through the Static’s coverage consists of local and national breaking news, features articles, and more. We invite people of all backgrounds to collaborate with us on our mission to fight fascism and spread joy through our art and community submission sections.
Please reach out if you’d like to learn more or become involved!
