Feedback on Water Hub proposal
Signe Lindquist04/07/2604/21/264/8 KL follow up email setting up meeting for the 21stEmilie and I are talking to a group called Water Hub about supporting communications for a large community "UnConference" event that will be held in July. Our initial idea was that Water Hub could do some graphic notetaking for us, to produce some summary of the UnConference's key takeaways in a visual/accessible format for attendees. After chatting with them, they came up with a proposal with several options for us (see doc attached), which we'd love Comms Team's reactions and feedback on!

Could we set up a meeting to discuss this proposal and brainstorm a bit with you?
Katie LoveActiveHoping that we can have a meeting in the next 2 weeks, but ideally in the next 1 week. We'd ideally like to hear from you first before getting a reply back to the Water Hub folks.2025-583katie.love@psp.wa.gov

2025 SOS typo
Alex MItchell12/19/2512/31/26yes1/7/26 add a note on the website detailing the changeOn page 124 of the 2025 SOS we noticed that a dollar amount is incorrect: "In the 2023-25 budget, $3.8 billion was invested in projects or programs expected to deliver environmental benefits to communities across Puget Sound"

The $3.8 billion is actually $3.2 billion according to the HEAL Act funding tracker tool. This could have been a typo that we as authors of that section introduced, or it's possible that the data was updated in the tool since we took a snapshot of it several months ago. Anyhow, we wanted to point it out. I'm not sure what our policy is for correcting errors at this point, so we absolutely defer to you on whether or not we should update it. If we're not making any adjustments, we understand. Thanks!

Community engagement stickers
Signe Lindquist02/24/2604/01/26From an email I sent to Jon today:

Hi Jon,

I hope you’re having a good week. I’m circling back to you to get a sticker order placed, like we briefly chatted about during the last in-person all staff meeting. Thanks again for being so creative and open to trying new things with me on this idea!

Here’s what I’m imagining:
• Create 4 different sticker designs, using the four sea creatures in the image files attached. Slap the PSP logo onto the sticker as well. Would you or someone on Comms Team be able to do this?
• Order 200 die-cut single stickers of each design (800 stickers total). Here is a site I found that looks like it offers a good price. But if you have a preferred site to use, I’m open to what you want to use!
• Does Comms Team have budget to order these? The cost before tax and shipping on UPrinting.com looks like it would be $133.60 (plus tax and maybe shipping).

Let me know what you think! I’ll also submit a comms request for this to help you track my request 😊

Best,
Signe

Salmon Hub Summer Low Flow Dashboard
Jennifer Burke03/03/26Chase is aware, we are in need of some design and communications support for a summer low flow dashboard that will appear on the Salmon Recovery Hub homepage and also will serve as a template for additional topics (appear as tabbed topics on the homepage) for the Salmon Hub. Originally was only going to be a map, however through conversations with Don and Kenna, we would like to craft some key messages and why the indicator is important in VERY brief context along with some metrics about recovery projects and $ investments using live data from RCO.
The need is both design layout of the application and later a communications review of the short narratives.
The work will be coordinated through our weekly Salmon Hub meetings with Comms. Thank you!!

Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet
Laura Vary11/13/2512/31/252/4 is this finished?12/17 sent laura an email asking for a status updateThe Progress Indicator, Salmon Habitat Indicator, and Vital Signs programs are working together to update the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet (https://pspwa.app.box.com/file/906302518755?s=o23f9meiyo2qeyn8777r8ownzj79k0zc). Our programs need an authoritative fact sheet to ensure consistency in communication, alignment across programs, and PSP staff/partner engagement. This fact sheet is frequently referenced when introducing our indicator system and describing specifics around the indicators but it has significantly out-of-date language.

We have not yet finished our revised version, but we would like the fact sheet updated by the end of 2025. I wanted to submit the communications request anyhow to be mindful of your capacity and support planning of tackling requests in late 2025. We will get a revised version of the fact sheet to you in early December.

Funding Barriers Infographic
Ali Carter02/17/2602/27/26Hello Comms!

I’m the new Funding Barrier Strategist on the Strategic Funding Team. I’ve been working on a memo on funding barriers experienced in WA, which includes an infographic. I’ve attached the infographic to this email for reference.

Our team would like to make a couple changes to the infographic to align with the edits made to our external memo. Could you please help us make the following changes:
- Remove the term "Enabling Conditions" label on the far left
- Change the wording of the first column, first point, to read "Misperceptions of Local Needs"
- Remove "Failed Governance", "Insufficient organizational capacity", and Systemic application constraints" points
- Change the wording of the second column, fourth point, to read "Application complexity"
- Remove "Failed governance"
- Change the wording of the third column header to "Ineffective Coordination"
- Change the wording of the third column, second point, to read "Insufficient political will"

- Remove all points under Insufficient Organizational Capacity - I'm open to suggestions on how to make this look like parable to the other columns even though there are not remaining supporting points below the header ( unlike the other columns)

Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions or recommendations regarding these changes.
Best,
Ali

We thought a section on the intranet would be ideal since we'll link from multiple locations in Box. Right now, we have 5 links that we'd like added to a new CC section:
 Policy
 SOP (indicate in draft form)
 3 forms
 A-19
 Email templates

27-29 PSAR Climate Commitment Act - webpage edits
Marlies Wierenga03/23/2604/10/263/26 - Marlies sent over some edits. Went through them and made the edits online. Awaiting approval from Marlies. 3/25 - Reached out to Marlies to request the edits and create a plan for the future edits.I need some more minor edits to the text on the PSAR CCA page: https://psp.wa.gov/PSAR-CCA.php
And then on April 9 or 10, I will need the proposed projects links updated with the new 27-29 proposed projects (projects are due by noon on April 8, so I need a little time to create the documents to upload).
There will be another revised list of projects to upload on June 4th, after the final PSAR deadline.
Jen will support the map edits.
Ian McCabeWaiting on ClientThe reason for the deadlines has to do with when we receive the project applications and also when we need to go out for Tribal consultation.2025-565ian.mccabe@psp.wa.gov

Waiting for Michelle to approve the changes. 2/25 - It appears Michelle wants to break up the page and create a few other pages. The content is provided in the Canvas link but needs to be reviewed. Reached out to Michelle for clarification.Want to simplify information and add more to the Grant Writing portion of the SFT webpage. Part of my position is to increase local capacity, and through that I have been creating guidance for our partners in different areas related to grant writing.

One note, that the WEB Action Plan and Objectives Timelines were originally two different documents that are now combined. Jon and I have discussed what kind of format the WEB Action Plan should be in since the plan is a living document, but not sure we landed on a solution. Happy to noodle on this more!

Request - Please review these products for branding and any accessibility considerations that we should ask them to take on to finalize this PDF. Note that I did not ask our consultants to provide an accessibility review to these products. Please feel welcome to highlight any additional concerns.

Restoration Economy
Becky Hollender04/09/2605/16/26IEc, our economics contractor, will be finalizing a study on the "Restoration Economy" by the end of April. The messaging from this study is important for legislative work, as well as communications with Boards and other NEPs. It will also be important for LIOs and other partners.

Larry would like communications materials to be developed out of the report, but I'm not yet clear on what materials are most suited to needs. He wants to "go big" with this report's findings and key messages.

As a first step, a meeting to better understand the needs, including myself, Larry, Don, and Ahren, would be great! Please also include Laura Rivas as optional.

I'm uploading a first set of talking points below that will be used at PSDOH, but the final report will be much more elaborate and include graphics. IEc will be making a slide deck to present the findings to Boards - I am unsure about whether changes will be needed to make it more on-brand.
NewDeadline is to establish a first consult meeting with the group named above. Final materials should be available by then. The thinking behind this deadline is that after the consult, additional time will be needed to develop the materials. It would be good to have final materials developed by mid-June, before IEc begins making presentations to the Boards.2025-589web-form@smartsheet.com
