The Pacific Islander Community Association of Washington (PICA-WA) released a disaggregated data report detailing the specific systemic barriers and related outcomes experienced by the state’s Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NA/PI) community.

The Washington State Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Community Data Report 2019-2024 was developed in collaboration with UTOPIA WA, NA/PI community members, and other partners. It highlights the need for more disaggregated and culturally aligned data collection and reporting. The report includes policy recommendations informed by community input.

Send questions about the report to staff at PICA-WA.
