I’m excited to announce that Seattle achieved Gold Certification for our exceptional use of data in government and policy from @WhatWorksCities! What Works Cities Certification program is the first-of-its-kind standard of excellence for data and evidence-based local government.
Gold Certification is given to cities who demonstrate an especially strong dedication to data-based decision making. Thank you to our City employees who have made Seattle one of the most well-managed, data-driven cities in the nation. harrell.seattle.gov/2023/06/21/may…
@MayorofSeattle @WhatWorksCities What do the data say about crime rates by race? What do the data say about Black-on-Asian crime?
@MayorofSeattle @WhatWorksCities Reading through the article explaining why Seattle qualified, I kept thinking I'd really like to read a version of this annotated by @PubliColaNews and @ericacbarnett because of their work and experience covering homelessness policy in the region: whatworkscities.bloomberg.org/cities/seattle…
@MayorofSeattle @WhatWorksCities Can we address increasing private home ownership and not apartments and renters?

@MayorofSeattle @WhatWorksCities We want/deserve to see the analytics.
