We’ve been on a learning journey to discover what’s new in the world of digital accessibility. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – or WCAG for short ( www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/ ) – are a robust roadmap for ensuring digital communications products like websites, apps, videos, and PDFs are accessible to everyone including people with disabilities.

How do you implement WCAG’s guidelines when building websites? It’s a complicated question with about a million answers. Team Soapbox finds it helpful to lean on tools and resources created by problem solvers just like us.

One recent gem is the WAVE web accessibility evaluation tool
( wave.webaim.org/ ) which helps web content editors and developers assess possible blind spots in the websites they are building. What we love: this tool provides a live overview of its accessibility assessment for each individual page, with a color-coded approach to showing what needs attention. It also explains a bit of why an element might need to change. This tool is great for both troubleshooting during a project and continuing to learn about accessibility needs.

As with all technology, the constant is change. We foresee this journey continuing to take us to new places as we learn more ways to increase accessibility in our communication approaches.

We want to hear from you on food waste!

Today, we are launching a short survey for Seattle residents to help us learn how people use and throw away food.

We need your input to help everyone in Seattle save money and compost smart.

Seattle has so much to discover.

We love that our client Inspire Washington teamed up with the Good Business Network of Washington to make exploring our city easier. The Discover What Moves You Digital Passport is a free program that rewards you for visiting arts, heritage, and science experiences. Check in at participating museums and events to earn points and prizes, including a grand prize $500 gift card towards a participating organization.

We're proud to partner with Seattle/King County Clinic for another year — serving as their media relations team and volunteering on the ground for the 11th annual free healthcare clinic, happening now through Sunday, April 26, at Seattle Center.

Seeing this event land on the front page of The Seattle Times is a powerful reminder of why this work matters. Thousands of community members receive free medical, dental, and vision care, and stories like this help make sure even more people know where to turn.
