Pseudo-Parcels

The following counties were not able to provide spatial GIS data for the 2012 Washington State Parcel Database. To serve as placeholders in the database, pseudo-parcels were generated from parcel id numbers, legal descriptions, and site address information. 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.

Asotin UDPATE (05/15/2014), 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.
