1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing stories
Mount Vernon and Skagit County are related but not interchangeable. A page aimed at people affected by an event in Mount Vernon may need a different local reference from a page addressing a Washington statute or statewide agency action. Ask whether the relevant editorial boundary is Mount Vernon, all of Skagit County, Washington, or a combination that changes by practice area.
Recommended approach
Prepare a written geographic rule for review. For example, you might decide that a local incident receives consideration only when it has a clear connection to a practice area, while a new Washington law is evaluated statewide. Treat that as an internal example, not a Bosseo recommendation or a prediction of results. Review whether each proposed page accurately describes the affected geography and directs readers to a service your firm actually provides.
