Washington 211 is committed to ensuring accessibility of its website and related tools for our professional and community users. This is accomplished by:

We will, when possible, exceed federal and industry accessibility standards to assure the tools are truly usable regardless of hearing, visual, motor, or communication ability. Standards for accessibility are defined by Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act and are available at http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=12 and also by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as outlined by the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative available at https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

Our true measure of accessibility is determined by the end user. We strive to incorporate relevant user feedback into our ongoing updates and welcome suggestions on how we can improve for our users.
