Parcels Working Group
About the Parcels Working Group
In October 2006 a group of federal, state, tribal and local government participants came together to explore whether there was interest in and a willingness to pursue the development and coordination of a statewide parcel framework data set that would be accessible to various participating agencies. It was determined that tackling this project would involve the identification of a set of core attributes of interest, addressing the concerns of county parcel data producers, the coordination of licensing agreements, and building a working relationship with the county parcel custodians and key agency framework coordinators. Currently, the working group is co-chaired by representatives from the Department of Health and the University of Washington and includes representatives from numerous federal, state, local, and other public agencies in Washington State.
