Process
Structured civic infrastructure
We normalize parcel records, zoning, permits, elections, and other public sources into a single system with no PDFs, no silos.

How it works
How OpenSkagit turns civic data into place-based intelligence
Collect & Enrich
We grab scattered local data—permits, parcels, shorelines, zoning—and connect the dots that aren't obvious when you look at them separately.
Flip card for details.Anacortes: Shoreline permits + water quality data show what's really happening along the coast
Burlington: Building permits crossed with floodplain maps reveal where growth is pushing into risky areas
County-wide: Property sales linked to zoning changes track where development is actually heading
Build & Analyze
We make tools that turn messy local data into something you can actually use, showing how decisions ripple through your community.
Flip card for details.Permit timelines: See how long different projects actually take and where things get stuck
Zoning impacts: Map how code changes affect what can get built in your neighborhood
Growth patterns: Track where development is piling up and what it means for roads, schools, and services
Train & Refine
We train a local-first AI on Skagit Valley's unique context, so it can think about place, policy, and community like someone who's lived here for years.
Flip card for details.Ask complex questions: "How might new stormwater rules affect downtown Sedro-Woolley redevelopment?"
Surface connections: Links between watershed health, farmland conversion, and housing policy
Built-in accountability: Cites parcels, permits, and sources so you can check every claim
Tools for Skagit Valley
Built to be used. New tools and datasets roll out continuously.
Parcel Partner
A parcel-first view of Skagit Valley: key facts, mapping layers, and location-aware insights in one place.
80,122 parcels covered →
Skagit Flavor Index
What people are talking about, what’s rising, what’s fading—built from menus, reviews, and real patterns across the Valley.
296 restaurants · 7,153 menu items
VoteVector
VoteVector analyzes voting behavior through a neighborhood lens—connecting ballots, parcels, and geography to surface meaningful engagement patterns.
Explore ballots, parcels, and civic signals →
Parcel Profiler
Parcel Profiler surfaces constraints, risk signals, and smart next steps for any property so you know what’s behind the headline.
Where Your Taxes Go
Clear breakdown of property taxes with trend context and plain-English explanations of what changed.
Civic Briefings
Agenda and document summaries tagged by impact area—housing, flood, roads, taxes, business—with links back to sources.
Community insight
Help steer what ships next.
The Citizen Survey collects on-the-ground feedback from residents, planners, and business owners so OpenSkagit can prioritize the datasets, tools, and civic explainers that matter most.
- •Tell us which parcel, zoning, or permit workflows slow you down.
- •Share civic questions you want answered with citations.
- •Highlight missing overlays or proximity analysis you rely on.
How we work
Built from public data. Organized by place.
These tight signals describe how we collect, contextualize, and translate civic data into tools that help people understand the Valley without digging through PDFs or silos.
Spatial intelligence
Every signal is spatial
Patterns surface when every record links to parcels, neighborhoods, or districts—so we can compare where pressure concentrates and participation shifts.

Derived for decisions
We transform raw tables into interpretable indexes, classifications, and confidence-weighted summaries that stay transparent and source-linked.

How we use AI
AI augments specific workflows—it doesn’t replace data provenance. Here’s where we apply it, with humans reviewing the results.
Data enrichment & pattern detection
Models help detect anomalies in assessments, menu sentiment swings, and zoning changes. We feed them structured joins, let them spot patterns, then log the output for auditors.
Summarization & synthesis
Briefings and parcel narratives start with AI summaries, but every paragraph keeps citations, timestamps, and clear uncertainty labels before publication.
Coding + automation
We use AI pair-programming to scaffold ETL scripts, QA checks, and regression dashboards—always reviewed in Git before they touch production pipelines.
Ideation & analysis
For explorations—“what if we map parcel preflight constraints?”—AI helps storyboard, but the decision to ship still depends on real data coverage and community impact.
