About Palmarrish

Local news for Palmetto, Parrish & Ellenton. Updated every week: what to do this weekend, the week's meetings and dates, and the latest news.

Palmarrish (Palmetto + Parrish) is a free weekly roundup for North Manatee County: weekend plans, County Commission decisions, what's being built, roads, schools, and housing and safety numbers.

We cover Palmetto, Parrish, Ellenton and the rest of North Manatee.

How it's made

We read county records, agendas and local news, then write short summaries in our own words. AI tools help with research and drafts.

Our standards

  • Sources. Items link to their sources. We credit other outlets by name.
  • Politics. We don't endorse candidates or ballot measures.
  • Crime. Crime items leave out victims' names and mugshots. An arrest is an accusation, so we say "charged."
  • Independence. We're not affiliated with Manatee County, any city, any developer or any business we cover.
  • Sponsors. Sponsored spots are labeled "Sponsored." Sponsors don't have a say in what we cover.
  • Corrections. They're dated and listed on our corrections page.
