Since the beginning of 2017 we have had several noteworthy open dataset releases happen, such as the Seattle Police Department Use of Force datasets and more recently a very large dataset from the Seattle Public Library containing Check Out data from 2005 to the present day. In addition to those datasets, we have recently released another eleven datasets that also provide valuable information and interesting insights to the public. Below is the list of those datasets, along with short descriptions and pointers to the datasets on http://data.seattle.gov. Sincere thanks to everyone involved at the City of Seattle in helping make these datasets available to our residents!
If you have any feedback on these or other datasets we have published, please contact us at open.data@seattle.gov or @seattleopendata.
