Redmond-based Microsoft Corp. has just launched a Facebook page as a platform to communicate the company’s position on key issues facing Washington state.

The Microsoft in Washington State page has dedicated sections addressing K-12 education, higher education and transportation — three key areas the company is committed to helping improve in the state.

By “liking” the Microsoft page, people will be able to join the discussion and be kept up to date as Microsoft works with key stakeholders to make progress against the Benchmarks for a Better Washington measurements as identified by the Washington Roundtable.
