(INTERNAL LINK ONLY)
includes metadata for non-KCGIS vector data


The King County Spatial Data Warehouse contains data from many sources outside of King County government. King County has acquired these data sets via formal and informal data sharing arrangements with cities, adjacent counties, state and federal agencies, and non-governmental orgnanizations. These data sharing arrangements allow both King County and participating entities to use each other's data, making GIS a more effective information and mapping tool for all involved.

Non-KCGIS data and metadata are used "as is," and are not edited or maintained by KCGIS. Non-KCGIS data are for internal use only; King County does not redistribute data that it receives from outside sources.

Public Internet users can use the link below to access a list of sources from whom we have received data. King County GIS provides this information solely as a resource to assist the public in locating GIS information. Not all sources may be able to share GIS information or data, and there may be a cost associated with obtaining data from the listed sources.
