Something weird happened on Seattle’s Lake Union, and the explanations don’t quite line up. In this episode of That Upper Left Life Podcast, we look at the small islands that suddenly appeared without any real geological event to back them up. And if they were just construction debris, it’s hard to understand why anyone would haul material across town, load it onto barges, and dump it hundreds of feet offshore.

Then things get stranger: seven more islands reportedly showed up with almost no records of dredging, dumping, or shoreline work.

We sort through the theories, question the official stories, and eventually consider the oddest possibility, that something else might have been responsible. Maybe even something not exactly from here.

Another Pacific Northwest mystery from That Upper Left Life Podcast.

The Pacific Northwest is dotted with deep, cold lakes that seem built for secrets. In this

episode, we wade into the region’s most enduring aquatic legends — from shadowy

shapes in glacier‑fed water to the creatures locals swear they’ve seen just beneath the

surface. Part folklore, part natural history, and part regional identity, these lake‑monster

stories reveal why the Northwest’s wild places still spark the imagination

Deep beneath Lake Washington lies a preserved, thousand‑year‑old underwater forest—trees still standing where an ancient earthquake sent them sliding into the depths. This episode explores the quake, the science, and the mystery behind one of the Northwest’s strangest hidden worlds.

Beneath the cold, green water of Puget Sound, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge hides more than twisted metal and maritime history. In this episode, we dive into the long‑running legend of the giant Pacific octopus said to lurk in the wreckage — part folklore, part biology, and part Northwest identity. We sort out what’s real, what’s rumor, and why this story refuses to die.
