County governments across the country, working alone and in cooperation with other governments at the municipal, state and national levels, continue to develop innovative and successful programs in a wide range of service areas, including arts and historic preservation, children and youth, community and economic development, corrections, county administration, emergency management, environmental protection, health, human services, libraries, parks and recreation, transportation, volunteers and much more. The Achievement Awards Program gives national recognition to county accomplishments, and has enabled NACo to build a storehouse of county success stories that can be passed on to other counties.

The Digital Government Achievement Award recognizes outstanding agency and department Web sites and applications.


MuniNet Guide introduced its first collection of “Top Pick” websites back in 1997 to recognize municipal-related websites that stand out among the crowd.

From the MuniNetGuide web: King County, Washington’s website does a great job of covering the standard fare - providing updated County news, financial information, access to public records and more. But just one step below the surface, this web site offers so many top-quality, cutting-edge features that browsing through its content is like embarking on a successful treasure hunt.

Both the Road Closures and real-time Bus Tracker features provide a great service to commuters, who can use the website to avoid construction obstacles and/or long waits at the bus stop. The real-time Bus Tracker, available by route number and map, uses Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology to track Metro busses and to enhance security.

Another standout feature is the Issues Before the King County Council, a convenient portal that leads to detailed information about the current projects and initiatives. Particularly in these tough economic times, the Jobs page is a great tool for residents to access a list of current County employment opportunities - and to directly apply for these jobs. The Jail Register is a rather unique item that serves as a searchable roster of current inmates.
