BERK recently developed an innovative story map to solicit public input for King County’s Shoreline Master Plan update. Story mapping is a web-based system in Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform that makes it possible to combine images, interactive maps, narrative text, and other multimedia content into engaging presentations that tell compelling stories. BERK saw this as a wonderful tool to combine education and input into one platform for an online open house.

Find a link to the story map here, and for a more in depth description of the map, see my blog post over at the King County GIS Center Blog, “GIS and You”:
