Hey KatieDid a cursory look and this seems like it should be pretty doable and I could write a script after work today. I see my tru profile already has my seattle city council district though so is this not info we already have?Doug

I have a question I thought someone in this group might be able to help with. In preparation for the state legislative session, we’re trying to group TRU’s membership by legislative district, so that we can more effectively advocate with individual legislators. We have up-to-date address information for most TRU members, I think. But we haven’t mapped this onto districts yet.King County has a district finder here where you can put in your address and it will spit out your state, county and city districts. We can do this manually for each member, but it will be a bit of a chore. Is there a faster / more automatic way to get this done? It would be awesome to be able to feed in bulk address data and end up with a .csv or something with columns for state, county and city district.Katie
