Stewarded by the State board for Community and Technical Colleges, this map shows community and technical colleges in Washington State along with their respective college district boundaries. This map can be viewed alone but is intended for use in the Community and Technical Colleges District App.

Hosting this map, app and data layers for SBCTC on WaTech system.

College districts were established by the state legislature to identify service areas for each community and technical college under RCW 28B.50.040. This data is created using current school district boundaries and census county divisions when interpreting boundaries from RCW 28B.50.040 because there are no digital records of the original boundaries at the time of the writing of RCW 28B.50.040. Reference data used to create college district boundaries includes:Unified school district boundaries, Office of the Superintendant of Public Instruction, July 2014Unified school district boundaries, US Census Bureau, 2013County boundaries, 100K, Washington Department of Natural Resources, January 2007County Divisions, US Census Bureau, 2013Washington State functional class data for non-state routes, Washington State Department of Transportation, May 2014World Street Map, ESRI, July 2014.All college district boundaries were reviewed by SBCTC and updated July 2019.

The Washington State Zoning Atlas (“WAZA” or “Atlas”) is a centralized database of spatial zoning data, hosted by the Department of Commerce. It provides simplified and accessible zoning information for Washington’s 39 counties and 281 cities (320 jurisdictions total) to the public. The interactive map and downloadable database illustrate key features and regulatory characteristics of zoning codes across jurisdictions. Data attributes for each zone include generalized land use categories, allowed uses, and development standards (e.g., building heights, densities, parking requirements). The Atlas makes it easier to compare zoning codes between jurisdictions and identify regional and statewide trends in regulation, which will strengthen local planning for housing, transportation, environmental impacts, climate response, and economic growth.The Washington State Zoning Atlas was developed by a team including MAKERS architecture and urban design LLP, the University of Washington, Western Washington University, BHC Consultants, and the Washington State Department of Commerce. Funding was allocated for this project in the Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5187.

Colleges and Universities in the United StatesThis feature layer, utilizing data from Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD), displays colleges and universities in the U.S. and its territories. According to HIFLD, this feature layer "is composed of all Post Secondary Education facilities as defined by the Integrated Post Secondary Education System (IPEDS, https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/), National Center for Education Statistics (NCES, https://nces.ed.gov/), US Department of Education for the 2019-2020 school year. Included are Doctoral/Research Universities, Masters Colleges and Universities, Baccalaureate Colleges, Associates Colleges, Theological seminaries, Medical Schools and other health care professions, Schools of engineering and technology, business and management, art, music, design, Law schools, Teachers colleges, Tribal colleges, and other specialized institutions."Washington and Lee University & Virginia Military InstituteData currency: This cached Esri service is checked monthly for updates from its source (Colleges and Universities).Data modification: noneFor more information: U.S. Department of Education; National Center for Education Statistics; Integrated Postsecondary Education Data SystemFor feedback, please contact: ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.comHomeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD)Per HIFLD, "The Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) Subcommittee was established…to address improvements in collection, processing, sharing, and protection of homeland infrastructure geospatial information across multiple levels of government, and to develop a common foundation of homeland infrastructure data to be used for visualization and analysis on all classification domains."

Hourly maps of surface currents were made using SeaSonde HF systems deployed in northern Oregon and southern Washington on the Columbia River from June 2004 to December 2006. The instruments were operated near 5 MHz, which allowed long-range measurements of radial currents from each station. Where data from different stations overlapped, two-dimensional currents were produced by mapping to a fixed grid. Data quality measures including GDOP (geometric dilution of precision), are also included.

The National Risk Index Counties Map incorporates county-level vector tile layers for the Risk Index, Expected Annual Loss, Social Vulnerability, and Community Resilience. The map is used within the National Risk Index application.

The National Risk Index is a dataset and online tool that helps to illustrate the communities most at risk for 18 natural hazards across the United States and territories: Avalanche, Coastal Flooding, Cold Wave, Drought, Earthquake, Hail, Heat Wave, Hurricane, Ice Storm, Landslide, Lightning, Riverine Flooding, Strong Wind, Tornado, Tsunami, Volcanic Activity, Wildfire, and Winter Weather. The National Risk Index provides Risk Index values, scores and ratings based on data for Expected Annual Loss due to natural hazards, Social Vulnerability, and Community Resilience. Separate values, scores and ratings are also provided for Expected Annual Loss, Social Vulnerability, and Community Resilience. For the Risk Index and Expected Annual Loss, values, scores and ratings can be viewed as a composite score for all hazards or individually for each of the 18 hazard types.Sources for Expected Annual Loss data include: Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Arizona State University’s (ASU) Center for Emergency Management and Homeland Security (CEMHS), California Department of Conservation, California Office of Emergency Services California Geological Survey, Colorado Avalanche Information Center, CoreLogic’s Flood Services, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program, Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX), Iowa State University's Iowa Environmental Mesonet, Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MLRC) Consortium, National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR), National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (NWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office for Coastal Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geophysical Data Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center, Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System, Puerto Rico Seismic Network, Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program, State of Hawaii’s Office of Planning’s Statewide GIS Program, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), U.S. Forest Service's Fire Modeling Institute's Missoula Fire Sciences Lab, U.S. Forest Service's National Avalanche Center (NAC), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Geological Survey's Landslide Hazards Program, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), University of Alaska – Fairbanks' Alaska Earthquake Center, University of Nebraska-Lincoln's National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), University of Southern California's Tsunami Research Center, and Washington State Department of Natural Resources.Data for Social Vulnerability are provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Social Vulnerability Index, and data for Community Resilience are provided by University of South Carolina's Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute’s (HVRI) 2020 Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities.The source of the boundaries for counties and Census tracts are based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2021 TIGER/Line shapefiles. Building value and population exposures for communities are based on FEMA’s Hazus 6.0. Agriculture values are based on the USDA 2017 Census of Agriculture.
