Seattle Launches a New Digital Accessibility Policy, prioritizing digital accessibility as it prepares for 2026 FIFA World Cup events, aiming to ensure city websites, apps, forms, maps, videos, and social media work for everyone.
The City of Seattle launched the new Digital Accessibility Policy on June 1, 2026, based on ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA standards, combining prior practices, a 2025 executive order, and federal requirements.
The policy requires all new public-facing digital tools and content to meet accessibility standards before going live, while older materials must be updated or given alternate access by April 26, 2027, similar to the ADA Title II Rule.
Accessibility is a citywide responsibility shared by staff, vendors, contractors, and partner agencies, with ongoing reviews, community feedback, and annual policy updates to improve digital inclusion.
