Neighborhood Map Atlas neighborhoods are derived from the Seattle City Clerk's Office Geographic Indexing Atlas. These are the smallest neighborhood areas and have been supplemented with alternate names from other sources in 2020. They roll up to the district areas. The sub-neighborhood field contains the most common name and the alternate name field is a comma delimited list of all the alternate names.The original atlas is designed for subject indexing of legislation, photographs, and other documents and is an unofficial delineation of neighborhood boundaries used by the City Clerks Office. Sources for this atlas and the neighborhood names used in it include a 1980 neighborhood map produced by the Department of Community Development, Seattle Public Library indexes, a 1984-1986 Neighborhood Profiles feature series in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, numerous parks, land use and transportation planning studies, and records in the Seattle Municipal Archives. Many of the neighborhood names are traditional names whose meaning has changed over the years, and others derive from subdivision names or elementary school attendance areas.Disclaimer: The Seattle City Clerk's Office Geographic Indexing Atlas is designed for subject indexing of legislation, photographs, and other records in the City Clerk's Office and Seattle Municipal Archives according to geographic area. Neighborhoods are named and delineated in this collection of maps in order to provide consistency in the way geographic names are used in describing records of the Archives and City Clerk, thus allowing precise retrieval of records. The neighborhood names and boundaries are not intended to represent any "official" City of Seattle neighborhood map. The Office of the City Clerk makes no claims as to the completeness, accuracy, or content of any data contained in the Geographic Indexing Atlas; nor does it make any representation of any kind, including, but not limited to, warranty of the accuracy or fitness for a particular use; nor are any such warranties to be implied or inferred with respect to the representations furnished herein. The maps are subject to change for administrative purposes of the Office of the City Clerk.

This data release contains the GIS data supporting U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report (OFR) 2005-1252, "The Geologic Map of Seattle—A Progress Report," published in 2005 by Kathy Goetz Troost, Derek B. Booth, Aaron P. Wisher, and Scott A. Shimel (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051252). The OFR was prepared for the 2005 Washington Hydrogeology Symposium and describes the status of geologic mapping for Seattle, Washington, at the time. The map is the result of field mapping and compilation of subsurface geologic data during the years 1999–2004 and was funded by the City of Seattle and the U.S. Geological Survey. Data from more than 36,000 exploration points, geotechnical borings, monitoring wells, excavations, and outcrops were used in making the map. The northern part of the 2005 OFR and the supporting GIS data were subsequently published as two geologic maps: Booth, D.B., Troost, K.G., and Shimel, S.A., 2005, Geologic map of northwestern Seattle (part of the Seattle North 7.5’ X 15’ Quadrangle), King County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2903, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim2903. Booth, D.B., Troost, K.G., and Shimel, S.A., 2009, Geologic map of northeastern Seattle (part of the Seattle North 7.5' x 15' quadrangle), King County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3065, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3065. The southern part of the 2005 OFR and the supporting GIS data were not subsequently published for various reasons. With the original authors' permission, the GIS data used to create the map shown in OFR 2005-1252 are being released here to best meet modern open-data standards and to allow for use in future studies and mapping. The data included in this data release are only those components necessary to create the map shown in OFR 2005-1252. The following map features were not available and are not included in this data release: bedding point data, faults, anticlines, and contact lines. OFR_2005-1252.gdb is an Esri geodatabase containing the following feature classes: ofr_2005_1252_geology_poly (1,068 features); ofr_2005_1252_fill_poly (424 features); ofr_2005_1252_seattle_fault_zone_poly (1 feature); ofr_2005_1252_wastage_landslide_deposits_poly (188 features); ofr_2005_1252_beds_line (6 features); and ofr_2005_1252_scarp_line (351 features). Metadata records associated with each of these elements contain more detailed descriptions of their purposes, constituent entities, and attributes. A shapefile (non-geodatabase) version of the dataset is also included, although due to character limits, some field names and text cells in the attribute tables were truncated relative to the equivalent values in the geodatabase. The authors ask that users of the geologic map data cite both the open-file report and the GIS data release: Open-File Report: Troost, K.G., Booth, D.B., Wisher, A.P., and Shimel, S.A., 2005, The geologic map of Seattle—a progress report: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2005-1252, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051252.

Peat-settlement-prone areas (sites containing peat and organic soils that may settle when the area is developed or the water table is lowered).Peat settlement-prone areas. Peat settlement-prone areas consist of Category I and Category II peat settlement-prone areas that are delineated on Maps A1 through A26, Peat Settlement-prone Area Boundaries Maps, codified at the end of this Chapter 25.09. This parcel-specific delineation is based on the location of the relevant bog or bogs identified in City of Seattle Identified Bogs (Troost 2007) plus a buffer of 50 feet for Category I peat settlement-prone areas or a buffer of 25 feet for Category II peat settlement-prone areas. On parcels larger than 50,000 square feet, the Director may consider a parcel-specific delineation, provided by the applicant, of the peat settlement-prone area boundary on a parcel. Where a parcel-specific delineation conflicts with the Peat Settlement-prone Area Boundaries Maps, the parcel-specific delineation shall apply.For more information about the definition of peat settlement prone areas, see Seattle Municipal Code section 25.09.012, Environmentally Critical Areas (ECA) definitions.Updated as needed.
Please Note: Community Reporting Areas (CRA) have been updated to follow the 2020 census tract lines which resulted in minor changes to some boundary conditions. They have also been extended into water areas to allow the assignment of CRAs to overwater housing and businesses. To exclude the water polygons from a map choose the filter, water=0.Community reporting areas (CRAs) are designed to address a gap that existed in city geography. The task of reporting citywide information at a "community-like level" across all departments was either not undertaken or it was handled in inconsistent ways across departments. The CRA geography provides a "common language" for geographic description of the city for reporting purposes. Therefore, this geography may be used by departments for geographic reporting and tracking purposes, as appropriate. The U.S. Census Bureau census tract geography was chosen as the basis of the CRA geography due to their stability through time and link to widely-used demographic data.The following criteria for a CRA geography were defined for this effort:no overlapping areascomplete coverage of the citysuitable scale to represent neighborhood areas/conditionsreasonably stable over timeconsistent with census geographyrelatively easy to use in a data contextfamiliar system of common place namesrespects neighborhood district geography to the extent possibleThe following existing geographies were reviewed during this effort:neighborhood planning areas (DON)neighborhood districts (DON/CNC/Neighborhood District Councils)city sectors/neighborhood plan implementation areas (DON)urban centers/urban villages (DPD)population sub-areas (DPD)Neighborhood Map Atlas (City Clerk)Census tract geographytopographyvarious other geographic information sources related to neighborhood areas and common place namesThis is not an attempt to identify neighborhood boundaries as defined by neighborhoods themselves.

This data layer references data from a high-resolution tree canopy change-detection layer for Seattle, Washington. Tree canopy change was mapped by using remotely sensed data from two time periods (2016 and 2021). Tree canopy was assigned to three classes: 1) no change, 2) gain, and 3) loss. No change represents tree canopy that remained the same from one time period to the next. Gain represents tree canopy that increased or was newly added, from one time period to the next. Loss represents the tree canopy that was removed from one time period to the next. Mapping was carried out using an approach that integrated automated feature extraction with manual edits. Care was taken to ensure that changes to the tree canopy were due to actual change in the land cover as opposed to differences in the remotely sensed data stemming from lighting conditions or image parallax. Direct comparison was possible because land-cover maps from both time periods were created using object-based image analysis (OBIA) and included similar source datasets (LiDAR-derived surface models, multispectral imagery, and thematic GIS inputs). OBIA systems work by grouping pixels into meaningful objects based on their spectral and spatial properties, while taking into account boundaries imposed by existing vector datasets. Within the OBIA environment a rule-based expert system was designed to effectively mimic the process of manual image analysis by incorporating the elements of image interpretation (color/tone, texture, pattern, location, size, and shape) into the classification process. A series of morphological procedures were employed to ensure that the end product is both accurate and cartographically pleasing. No accuracy assessment was conducted, but the dataset was subjected to manual review and correction.University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Laboratory in collaboration with City of Seattle.This dataset consists of City of Seattle Block Groups areas which cover the following tree canopy categories: Existing tree canopy percent Possible tree canopy - vegetation percent Relative percent change Absolute percent changeFor more information, please see the 2021 Tree Canopy Assessment.

City of Seattle 2 ft contours derived from Lidar captured in 2021. Contour lines display at 2ft, 10ft and 50ft intervals dependent on scale. Lines have been smoothed and generalized for display and performance. Development Detail: This vector tile service includes topographic contour lines representing elevation at 2-foot intervals within the city of Seattle. The contours were derived from a bare earth - digital elevation model (DEM) with a pixel resolution of 1.5 feet. The lidar data that created the DEM were collected by NV5 Geospatial over the spring and summer months of 2021 and provided to the city by King County in 2022. The DEM used to generate the contours was filtered using the Focal Statistics tool in ArcGIS, which served to limit some abrupt changes in cell values. A 3x3 rectangular neighborhood analysis was applied and a mean value was calculated per raster cell. After running the Focal Statistics tool, 2-foot contours were generated from the filtered DEM. To reduce file size and improve performance, the contours were generalized further using the Smooth Line tool in ArcGIS. A smoothing algorithm type of Polynomial Approximation with Exponential Kernel (PAEK) and a smoothing tolerance of 20 feet was selected in the Smooth Line tool parameter options. Finally, after executing both generalization tools (Focal Statistics and Smooth Line), all lines less than 25 feet in length were omitted from the final output. Please note: The 2-foot contours are intended to be used for general reference and cartographic purposes only and should not be used for analysis purposes.
