Kids Count

KIDS COUNT in Washington is our new partnership with Children’s Alliance to help improve young lives.

Together, we gather and analyze the best emerging data on how kids are doing in our state, and then turn that information into action on issues like poverty, hunger, health care, education, and racial equity.

KIDS COUNT in Washington understands that information is power. We seek a dialogue between what the data says and what communities know about kids. We put real life behind real numbers by pairing hard data with personal stories to give policymakers and the public the information they need to create brighter futures for our children.
