Social media at King County

Social Media Handbook

The role of technology in the 21st century workplace is constantly expanding. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can help connect government agencies and our community, reaching new and different populations from traditional media sources.

King County departments should choose a combination of traditional and social media that complement each other and distribute information to relevant audiences. This handbook is designed to inform employees and the public, and to ensure transparency and consistency when incorporating social media in our communications and outreach efforts.
