Pitching Insights

Grace Madigan’s coverage suggests she’s especially responsive to pitches tied to food and drink, with a strong tilt toward reviews and opinionated local coverage. She’d likely be most interested in timely, concrete story angles around new openings, standout menu items, tasting notes, product launches, or other developments that can be experienced and evaluated on the ground.

Because her work often leans into review-style coverage, pitches should offer a clear reason to visit or cover something now—such as a noteworthy beverage release, a distinctive drinks program, or a local trend with a strong consumer angle. She may also be receptive to sources who can speak directly to what makes a product or venue different from others in the market.

Her reporting is focused on Tacoma and the broader Washington-area local scene, so keeping the angle rooted in that geography will make outreach more relevant.

Nobody Is Safe From the Rumba - The Stranger

Nobody Is Safe From the Rumba - The Stranger

By: Grace Madigan

This story originally appeared in The Stranger’s 2026 Queer Issue. It’s easy to glamorize the life of a record store owner. Just look at High Fidelity (both the original and the remake). Shooting the shit all day with your similarly music-obsessed friends while you mercilessly judge the tastes of customers—what more could you ask for? […]
