Whaler’s Bay is a fictional city. This website is a work of fiction created by Stephen Laphen as part of stephenlaphen.com.
The site is designed as a fully ordinary municipal website for a Washington city that does not exist. Some pages contain fiction presented in the form of public records, notices and civic documents. Nothing here is real: the departments, officials, phone numbers, email addresses, records and events are all invented, and no form on this site submits information anywhere.
The design and information architecture are modeled on contemporary municipal websites, and some photography is sourced from the City of Bellevue’s public website as visual reference material. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the City of Bellevue or any government agency. Icons are from Font Awesome Free (CC BY 4.0).
