Print Size: 17 x 11 inches


This color map depicts the general distribution and health of chinook stocks in several King County rivers based on a 1997 study by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The chinook information overlays land cover imagery that was interpreted from 1995 satellite data, combined with shaded relief imagery that was calculated from a digital elevation model. Other information depicted on the map includes rivers, streams, lakes, and Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) in King County. The background image has been resampled to minimize file size and downloading time. File format is Adobe Acrobat version 3. Created by KC Department of Natural Resources, Water and Land Division.

Grand Ridge Park
Site Management Plan maps


Print Size: 17 X 11 inches each


In the late 1980s a number of parcels northeast of Issaquah that were under separate ownership were joined to form a 2,223-acre parcel. The area, known as Grand Ridge, had been subject over the years to a number of development and annexation plans. Ultimately, as the result of an agreement between the property owner, the City of Issaquah, and King County, 1200 acres of public open space will be developed as Grand Ridge Park. 

The five maps here were created by the King County GIS Center for the December 2001 Grand Ridge Park Site Management Plan. View the maps here or see the entire plan on the Department of Construction and Facilities Management Internet site.

King County Known Noxious Weed Locations 1996 -  2003

Print Size: 17 X 11 inches


Noxious weeds are non-native plants that have reached Washington by escaping from gardens, "hitching a ride" with straw or hay, or on tires, hiking boots, clothing, etc. They grow aggressively, lack natural enemies and resist control methods. This map depicts the distribution of 30 different noxious weed species.
