Disclosures
Summary
cometonwa.com earns money through affiliate links and, eventually, display advertising. The FTC requires us to disclose this clearly. This page does that.
Our policy is simple: we only recommend services we have researched and believe are worth a reader's time. Affiliate revenue lets us keep the site free to read and independent from any single brokerage or service.
Affiliate links
When you click certain links on this site and complete a purchase or form on the destination site, we may receive a commission. The price you pay is exactly the same whether or not you use our link. The commission comes from the third party, not from you.
Affiliate links are marked with the HTML attribute rel=sponsored so that search engines and browsers can recognize them as paid relationships. You can inspect any link on the site to verify this.
We do not publish fake reviews. We do not rank services by which pays the highest commission. If we recommend one service over another, it is because we believe the reader is better served by it.
Affiliate relationships
As of the updated date at the top of this page, cometonwa.com participates in affiliate programs across the following categories of service.

We participate in additional programs as we vet and approve them. Readers who want to understand a specific recommendation can contact us at hellocometonwa.com.
What we do not do
We do not accept paid placement for editorial content. No city, neighborhood, or service pays to be featured on the site.
We do not accept paid testimonials, paid reviews, or paid endorsements from any party.
We do not sell subscriber emails, analytics data, or any other reader information to affiliate partners or anyone else.
Display advertising
Once the site reaches a traffic threshold, we may add display advertising through a reputable publisher network such as Ezoic, Monumetric, Mediavine, or Raptive.
If and when display ads go live, we will update this page with the specific network, and the sitewide privacy policy will be reviewed and adjusted to cover any tracking the ad network requires.
We will never run pop-ups, auto-playing video ads with sound, or ads that interfere with reading the content.
Sponsored posts
We do not currently publish sponsored posts. If we ever do, they will be clearly labeled Sponsored at the top of the article, and will follow all FTC disclosure requirements for endorsements and testimonials.
Editorial independence
Every city profile, neighborhood write-up, and opinion on cometonwa.com is written independently by the editorial team at Kool Krowd Ventures. No advertiser, affiliate partner, or third party previews, reviews, or approves editorial content before publication.
If an affiliate program we recommend turns out to deliver a poor reader experience, we drop it. The reader comes first.
Corrections
If you see an error on the site, in an affiliate disclosure, or in how a recommendation is framed, tell us and we will fix it promptly. Accuracy is part of the job.
