(2/3) However, in recent months, various platform decisions have made it harder for us to justify spending time here. Therefore, we've decided to end our presence on Twitter/X today, July 31, 2023.
@SeattleKingWDC will be kept as an archive.
(1/3) Since March 2012, we've tweeted on this account @SeattleKingWDC. It’s outlived many eras of the WDC team and now Twitter's name (hello, "X"… whatever that means). We've always valued the direct engagement we receive with our followers through social media...
(3/3) This decision was not made lightly as this is our oldest account with the most followers. Thank you so much to those who have stuck by us. You are the heart of our workforce development community. We hope to continue the conversation with you across our other channels.
