City of Seattle Tech Survey

Background

Access to information and technology is a fundamental social justice goal. Ensuring equal opportunity and access to the Internet for all our residents—regardless of age, income, or ability—allows them to participate in our increasingly digital world.

The City of Seattle has an interest in ensuring all our residents are able to access the resources they need to fulfill their potential. One of the ways the City of Seattle is working to enhance digital equity and inclusion across the county is by conducting a comprehensive survey about access to technology and the internet among residents in the winter of 2023. Results from the survey will be available during the summer or fall of 2023.
