The 2020 Census is getting closer, and our state’s Complete Count Committee started its work today by having its kickoff meeting in West Seattle, at South Seattle College (WSB sponsor). The committee is described as “a group of 30 leaders (Gov. Jay Inslee) has appointed to support and advise state officials on how best to ensure an accurate count of all Washington residents,” chaired by Gary Locke, who has served as governor and as U.S. ambassador to China. Both Inslee and Locke were there for this afternoon’s meeting:

The visitors were welcomed by SSC’s new president Dr. Rosie Rimando-Chareunsap:

Gov. Inslee talked with the media after speaking to the committee.

The 2020 Census is more important than ever that it be accurate and reflect the number of Washington’s residents. The Complete Count Committee should ensure ALL, including Post Office Box only, residents be included. I was not in the last Census even after calling the Federal Government to request the necessary paperwork. It’s great to be proactive.

Sorry, comment time is over.
