Unincorporated Urban Growth Areas (UGA) as defined by the Growth Management Act (GMA). The annual update is conducted by collecting UGA polygons directly from each of Washington's 39 counties. As of 2025, there are 27 counties with UGAs.All UGA polygons are normalized against the Department of Revenue's (DOR) "City Boundaries" layer (shared to the Washington Geoportal a.k.a. the GIS Open Data site: geo.wa.gov). The City Boundaries layer was processed into this UGA layer such that any overlapping area of UGA polygons (from authoritative individual counties) was erased. Since DOR polygons and county-sourced UGA polygons do not have perfect topology, many slivers resulted after the erase operation. These are attempted to be irradicated by these processing steps. "Multipart To Singlepart" Esri tool; exploded all polygons to be individualSlivers were mathematically identified using a 4 acre area threshold and a 0.3 "thinness ratio" threshold as described by Esri's "Polygon Sliver" tool. These slivers are merged into the neighboring features using Esri's "Eliminate" tool.Polygons that are less than 5,000 sq. ft. and not part of a DOR city (CITY_NM = Null) were also merged via the "Eliminate" tool. (many very small slivers were manually found yet mathematically did not meet the thinness ratio threshold)The final 8 polygons less than 25 sq. ft. were manually deleted (also slivers but were not lined up against another feature and missed by the "Eliminate" tool runs)Dissolved all features back to multipart using all fieldsAll UGAs polygons remaining are unincorporated areas beyond the city limits. Any polygon with CITY_NM populated originated from the DOR "City Boundaries" layer. The DOR's City Boundaries are updated quarterly by DOR. For the purposes of this UGA layer, the city boundaries was downloaded one time (4/24/2025) and will not be updated quarterly. Therefore, if precise city limits are required by any user of UGA boundaries, please refer to the city boundaries layer and conduct any geoprocessing needed. The DOR's "City Boundaries" layer is available here:https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=69fcb668dc8d49ea8010b6e33e42a13aData is updated in conjunction with the annual statewide parcel layer update. Latest update completed April 2025.

The Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Mount Rainier National Park, Washington is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (mora_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (mora_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer).

It can therefore overlap impervious layers.High vegetation is distinguished from low vegetation based on crown, texture, and derived height models. Leveraging stereo imagery produces results using 3D elevation models used to aid the distinction of vegetation categories. Distinguishing low from high vegetation is based on a 5m threshold, but this is not always feasible, especially in areas where heavy canopy prevents a visualization of the ground. In these circumstances, high vegetation will be given the priority over low vegetation.

Geospatial data about Benton County, Washington Parcels. Export to CAD, GIS, PDF, CSV and access via API.

The Washington State Parcels Project provides a statewide data set of tax parcels attributes that cover those counties that currently have digital tax parcels. Attribute data has been normalized so that the field names are the same across all counties. The data set contains the tax parcel identification number, situs addresses, the Department of Revenue land use codes, improvement and land values, and a link to the county's assessor's website for parcel information (if it exists).

Mapping of Visible Surface Water (VSW), or water features not concealed by other objects (i.e., tree canopy, bridges, etc.), is an important component of landcover models. VSW is not intended to represent a full hydrography or show connectivity, like other available water datasets – like NHD – whose boundaries may include other landcover types (i.e., shrubs, trees, etc.). Each feature has been visually verified and given attributes by an analyst. This dataset is also unique in that it reflects surface water for a single year - 2017. A variety of funding sources acquired between 2019 and 2023 aided the completion of the dataset for the entire state of Washington. More information on the dataset, current data coverage, and applications can be found on our website: https://hrcd-wdfw.hub.arcgis.com/.

Tip: Try using the filter options on the data tab to limit your download to a single County or WRIA. The filtered download can take a substantial amount of time to initiate, so it may be necessary to download the full dataset if the filter option does not work.
