🚨 Bonus: we post some of the places we go to, check them out!

You ever drive past a random town and wonder, “What’s the story here?” Autio answers that in Kevin Costner's voice casually dropping 23,000+ stories about ghost towns, wild legends, and that diner where something weird went down in 1953..

The app automatically plays the stories as you drive, so you can actually learn something between gas stops and snack breaks. New stories drop every week, meaning every trip feels new, even if it’s just another Costco run.

Things to know:

Every place has a story. Now every story has a place.

You know the guy who designed Bob’s Burgers characters? Turns out he also built insanely detailed treehouses inside bonsai trees. Yeah, actual miniature houses in tiny forests.

Pacific Bonsai Museum is showing six of Dave Creek’s creations complete with photos, quotes, and even his mobile “van life” studio where he built them on the road. It’s part art, part zen, part “how did this human even do that?”

Parents, imagine handing your kid a sandbox the size of a living room and saying, “Go wild while I finally finish my coffee.” That’s exactly what The Sand Garden delivers: 1,400 square feet of indoor beach-style play inside giant sandboxes, built for kids ages 0-10. Rain or shine the kids dig, build, explore, you chill back on a bench (or sneak in some email) and watch the chaos with a sense of calm.

The Crab Pot Seattle isn’t about polite dining, it’s about dumping a big bucket of seafood onto the table and going to town.

On the waterfront at Pier 57, you’ve got giant “Seafeasts” that show up literally heaped on paper and mallets ready for action. The kids? They’ll eat corn and potatoes like it’s candy. You? You’ll get crab by the pound and views of Elliott Bay that remind you why you live here.
