This is the public land survey grid that shows sections for Thurston County. This data was originally acquired from Washington State Department of Natural Resources in, or around, the 1990's. No more specific time frame is available. This data was originally stored by the county in coverage format and was imported into SDE in 2011. No modification or changes have been made during this time however this layer is currently being reviewed by the Thurston County Surveyor. It may be changed once that review is complete. Use this layer with caution as it may or may not be spatially accurate.

Parcels of Thurston County, Washington. Thurston County's data set for use in determining issues related to property ownership based on tabular information stored in the ASCEND and SIGMA databases maintained by the Thurston County Assessor's Department.

The fields SEWER_TYPE and WATER_SRC come from a variety of different sources and jurisdictions which the Assessor’s Office has no control of or the ability to audit. The Assessor’s Office appraisers are not experts in determining the exact type of water/sewer system available to a site, and do not make any official determination. These legacy fields are not updated. Local utility providers should be contacted for better information for specific parcels.

FEMA Framework Basemap datasets comprise six of the seven FGDC themes of geospatial data that are used by most GIS applications (Note: the seventh framework theme, orthographic imagery, is packaged in a separate NFIP Metadata Profile): cadastral, geodetic control, governmental unit, transportation, general structures, hydrography (water areas & lines. These data include an encoding of the geographic extent of the features and a minimal number of attributes needed to identify and describe the features. (Source: Circular A16, p. 13)

Thurston County, WA, US Post Office Box assigned zip codes. The purpose of this data is as a general reference only and actual mailing zip codes should be obtained from the US Postal Service. This layer was originally created using US Post Office Data. These points are associated with the US Post Office Box locations that house a unique Zip Code.This layer should be used in conjunction with the Zip Codes layer which is used to show zip code area boundaries associated with addressing and Thurston County Assessor’s Parcels. For example in smaller jurisdictions, like Bucoda, that rely on a post office box rather than rural delivery, the zip code point will reflect the unique zip code while the surrounding area will reflect the greater rural zip code boundaries and not the localized PO Box zip code.

The Urban Growth Area is used to manage future growth around densely populated areas. The urban growth area is the city/town and adjacent unincorporated growth area identified by the cities/towns/county to receive urban growth in the future. Outside of the boundary only rural growth is permissible.

Correction to this data can only be made through a Comprehensive Plan change or at the direction of Thurston County Long Range Planning due to a scrivener's error. The 1990 Washington State Growth Management Act requires the state's fastest growing cities and counties to designate UGAs around each city and town to accommodate the expected population growth over the next 20 years. In Thurston County, UGAs surround Bucoda, Lacey, Olympia, Rainier, Tumwater, Tenino, and Yelm. The current boundaries of the UGAs were established in 1990 and updated via the 2015 adoption of the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan: CHAPTER II - LAND USE II.URBAN GROWTH AREAS History and Purpose of Thurston County's Urban Growth Areas: In 1983, Thurston County, along with the cities of Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater, blazed the trail for growth management in Washington State by signing an interlocal government agreement called the "Urban Growth Management Agreement." That early agreement included an Urban Growth Management Boundary around the three cities to serve as a limit for the cities' expansion for 20 years. The purposes of the county's original growth areas remain relevant today: To provide for higher intensity development around the county's incorporated cities and towns and unincorporated community centers in order to concentrate development in areas where minimal impact to the environment, natural resources and rural atmosphere will occur. To minimize public costs and conserve energy by using services and facilities efficiently through concentration of development and integration of jobs, shopping, services and housing. To phase urban growth and infill with the provision of urban public services and facilities. One of the main effects of an urban growth area is to provide a limit for the extension of urban utilities, especially sewer service. To that end, overall residential density in urban growth areas should be high enough to support urban public services and to provide affordable housing choices. There should be a variety of housing types, with most densities ranging from 4 to 16 dwelling units per acre. Map M-14 identifies the urban growth areas for each city or town in Thurston County. The UGAs must accommodate the urban growth projected over the next 20 years including a reasonable market factor. Policies and actions emphasize the provision of urban land uses and services and include provisions specifically aimed at reducing low density residential sprawl. Joint plans established with each city and town include planning policies for each UGA. Joint plans are contained in separate documents, but are incorporated as part of the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan. Detailed land use designations for all UGAs around cities and towns are provided in the following joint plans (Map M-14 is keyed to the numbering below):Olympia/Thurston County Joint PlanLacey/Thurston County Joint Plan Tumwater/Thurston County Joint PlanYelm/Thurston County Joint PlanRainier/Thurston County Joint PlanTenino/Thurston County Joint PlanBucoda/Thurston County Joint PlanList of Map Correction's (Correction can only be made through a Comprehensive Plan change or at the direction of Thurston County Long Range Planning due to a scrivener's error.)Made on 5 AUG 2014 by KLW. Made on 15 July 2016 by KAH. - Correction of scrivener's error in Tenino UGA Boundary at the Teitge Annexations. This error was due to parcel and city mapping issues. The UGA has been fixed to be consistent with the parcel legal descriptions and the legal description included in the annexation ordinance approved by the City of Tenino, and the annexation approved by the Boundary Review Board.

When the water and sewer systems were built, Thurston County worked with local property owners to identify which areas would be served by the systems. A payment-for-access boundary was drawn, and all properties within the boundaries were assessed to pay for construction of pipelines. This layer combines the formerly separate individual layers into one. Done on 30 JAN 2015 by KLB.
