BDS, in association with ECONorthwest, completed a Strategic Plan for the City of Issaquah, Washington. This process involved extensive work with City department heads, six City employee work groups, a community leadership charrette, several focus groups, a community survey (with over 1,000 responses), and numerous City Council facilitations, including Council Ad Hoc Committees on individual goals with objectives, and actions.
The plan provides City leadership with a high level of policy direction and is fully focused on driving meaningful outcomes for Issaquah. The goals and objectives are derived from broad community engagement and are intended as significant steps toward the achievement of Issaquah’s collective vision. Success measures provide quantifiable indicators to inform progress and guide continuous improvement. The final plan was unanimously adopted by City Council in May 2019.
