Release Notes

Organizations below produce parcel data in the State of Washington. However, not all organizations provided data for the Washington State Parcel Database effort. Also, due to licensing restrictions or verbal agreements with some counties not all provided data was included in the Statewide Parcel Database.

Pseudo-Parcels

The following counties were not able to provide GIS data for the 2007 Washington State Parcel Database. To serve as placeholders in the database, pseudo-parcels were generated from parcel id numbers and legal descriptions. In most cases these cartoon parcels are randomly located within a mile of their true location, although some are randomly distributed throughout the county when no legal description or parcel id number could be used to geographically locate the pseudo-parcel. Parcel acres from county tax rolls were used to determine the pseudo-parcel size.

Adams, Asotin, Ferry, Garfield, Island, Pend Oreille, Skamania, Wahkiakum, Whitman

Attribute Metadata

Some limited metadata can be found using ArcCatalog and browsing the metadata for the Parcels feature class, or by following this link: Partially complete FGDC metadata included with the data.

It is a goal to develop complete FGDC metadata for the database. More information will be posted here when it is complete.

Original county data was processed to normalize it for the Washington State Parcel Database. Specific information about how original county attributes became the attributes in the Database can be found on the Data Producers Page.
