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.

Who is being surveyed?

Residents across the City of Seattle are being randomly selected to participate. Only one response is allowed per household, and that response is meant to include and represent everyone living in each location.

If I receive a survey, what should I do?

To make sure your opinion counts, please complete the survey via mail, website or phone no later than March 31st, 2023. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. There are no wrong answers.

Are my survey responses anonymous?

Yes, any information you share will be used for this survey only. Responses will not be connected to you or your household personally.

City of Seattle Partnership

The City of Seattle has partnered with Pacific Market Research to mail surveys to a random group of City of Seattle residents. Residents who receive the survey can then respond via mail, website or phone. For more information on this study, please visit seattle.gov/techaccessstudy.
