<DIV>Very interesting, Mike, and it looks like a good bit of work. </DIV>

<DIV>These data seem to say that we don’t need to give much consideration to
“south” folk participation. I don’t know how members there are in Pierce
County, but we did not get many to Kent.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had a chance to run the unit membership by
geographic subdivisions of the county as Tim suggested earlier in the week. If
you are interested I've tried to describe a bit more about my methodology below,
and if you're really interested I'd be happy to answer additional questions
about what I did and why. Otherwise feel free to skip down to the table
below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><U>Methodology</U>:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I used ZIP codes/Zip Code Tabulation Areas to
determine the population of Unit 446 members by location, versus the general
population as a whole. ZIP codes are preferable to use as compared to city
names, as zip codes and city boundaries do not necessarily align well. This is
especially true in King County, where many cities were incorporated in the
1990s, long after ZIP codes came into use. Also, default place names do not
necessarily correspond to place names commonly used for an area. For example,
any zip code of the form "981xx" is assigned the default place name "Seattle,
WA" by the USPS, even though this area stretches as far north as Shoreline and
as far south as Des Moines. Some members in those ZIP codes have their actual
cities listed as their address, but a few have the default "Seattle, WA" as
their address even though they do not live within Seattle city limits. By using
ZIP codes this problem is eliminated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The ZIP codes in our service area are all 980xx and
981xx zip codes EXCEPT 98020, 98026, 98036, 98037, 98043, and 98087 (which are
in the Everett unit) and 98110 (which is in the Tacoma/Kitsap unit). We also
appear to have in our territory 98224 and 98288 (which are Baring and Skykomish,
but have only 1 ACBL member between the two of them).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I assigned each zip code into one of several
geographical areas as follows. The main places in each of these categories are
as follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Central Seattle - the area between the south
Seattle city limit and Northgate</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>North - Seattle north of Northgate, and
Shoreline/LFP/Kenmore/Bothell/Woodinville</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>East - Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, the small towns
between Bellevue and the lake, Sammamish, Issaquah, Mercer Isalnd</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Valley - Everything east of Issaquah +
Duvall/Carnation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Near South - Renton, Seatac, Tukwila, Burien, Des
Moines</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Far South - Federal Way, Kent, Auburn, Covington,
Black Diamond</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Island - Vashon </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I then counted the number of members in each zip
code (excluding members who did not report the address to our database and
members keeping a primary address outside the unit), tabulated up the results
for each geographic category, and did the same for the population at
large.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><U>Results</U>:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Our membership statistics are in the yellow cells,
and the population at large in the red cells.</FONT></DIV>
