A public-records tracker following Washington State trust-land transfer applications, including their parcels, applicants, documents, and money trails.

Why it surfaced

Its central claim is wonderfully concrete: Washington is processing 30 applications, including three parcels above irrigation tunnels serving roughly 671,000 acres of Columbia Basin farmland. The live map and application tracker link each claim to DNR filings, legislative records, disclosure data, or public-records documents, while the unfinished dossiers give it a clear reason to revisit.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.
