GO Rainier Valley GREENWAYS is built on a sophisticated social media platform, called MindMixer, that has been used in over 300 community projects around the country. The new Go Greenways website is designed to spark community engagement by making it easy to answer polls and surveys online, generate discussions, ask questions of experts, and post photos, maps, and a variety of other materials. Rainier Valley Greenways, part of the city-wide Seattle Neighborhood Greenways movement, is leading the charge in Southeast Seattle with a neighborhood-driven effort to crowdsource recommendations for the best routes and necessary improvements for walking and bicycling between Rainier Valley destinations. GO Rainier Valley GREENWAYS is supported by Bike Works, the City of Seattle Department of Transportation the National Park Service, and many local organizations and individuals.
