During our recent Cotton Days event the city introduced a new citizen interface platform called "Yourwashington.org." This platform creates a one-stop shop for interfacing with your elected officials and city staff.
From this site you can connect with all of the ways the city communicates with you,
Including: Facebook, Twitter, Blogger. And you can communicate with the city by contacting your city councilmen, connecting to any surveys the city is conducting, asking a question, or generating ideas for the elected officials to consider.
This last feature called "Yourvoice" is a new feature which allows you to recommend or suggest an idea for the city to consider and vote on other ideas suggested. Through this process the city is hoping to hear your ideas and to see which ideas are most supported by the community. You will need to check this feature out.
As the name of this platform indicates, this is "Your Washington" and we hope you will take advantage of this simple way to influence, direct, and stay aware of all that is going on in your city.
