Dean Nichols was surprised when he clicked on The Herald’s state-of-the-art Internet map and found no specific icon for a soccer field. Susan Adams found no fish icon reflecting the plight of endangered salmon around Everett, WA.
But that didn’t stop Nichols, Adams and hundreds of other residents from responding to the newspaper’s survey seeking their vision for about 600 acres of land along Everett’s waterfront. They responded on forms printed in the newspaper and via a unique clickable Internet map from their home computers.
