eGov - Washington County, OR

I was digging around for some materials to use in class this weekend and found myself back at an old favorite website. It was the official site for Washington County, Oregon. Nearly 20 years after first visiting them, I found the site to still be one of the best examples of local government online. It has both user friendly and detailed materials, allowing visitors to pick what they need.

Just as an example, it presents GIS-related materials as:

• carefully developed cartographic products (maps),
• interactive online maps and materials, and
• downloadable GIS data.

 Dig around, check it out. (Or dig around in Independence, MO, another fascinating example)
