New iMAP Map Set: Districts
October 24, 2007

The addition of a new map set, "Districts", brings the number of distinct sets of map layers that can be viewed in iMAP to eleven . This new map set provides district boundary information for King County, including voting precincts, King County Council, Legislative, Congressional and minor taxing district boundaries.

The district data layers in this map set are maintained by King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Division and reflect district boundaries eligible for election. They do not include such service area boundaries as water or sewer service agency's service areas.

As with all iMAP map sets, the same iMAP interface and base map layers as well as a property search function are included along with this new collection of map layers.

Burien-Seatac-Tukwila-Renton Map and Guide
in the Virtual Map Counter
August 23, 2007

The KCGIS Center in coordination with Public Health of Seattle and King County, KC Parks and the cities of Burien, Renton, Sea Tac, and Tukwila have produced a map/guide to promote recreational activities within this region of the county.

KCGIS Center cartographers worked closely with parks staff to gather information on parks, trails, bike lanes, play grounds and community centers. The guide side of the page displays information from each city plus an amenities chart for selected parks or trails.

You can get your own copy by contacting King County Parks, or by stopping by the Roads Services map counter on the first floor of the King Street Center building. Or you can download and print your own version from the Virtual Map Counter.

Vashon–Maury Island Parks & Natural Lands Map and Guide in the Virtual Map Counter
August 15, 2007

The KCGIS Center has just published a new recreation map and guide for Vashon Island. It was commissioned by the Vashon Park District and Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust to promote outdoor opportunities available on the island.

The map includes topographic detail to help users see the bluffs and stream systems in the area, while the guide includes a recreation chart for parks and facilities, photographs for a number of sites and descriptive text for things to see and do. The Vashon–Maury Island Parks & Natural Lands Map and Guide made its debut at the Vashon Strawberry Festival in July.

Vashon Island features 30 parks and natural preserves that offer a variety of activities, including swimming, hiking, wildlife viewing and more. In addition, King County manages more than 800 acres of land on Vashon-Maury Island, including the popular Dockton Park, the ecologically valuable Island Center Forest.

You can get your own copy by contacting the Vashon Park District, the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust, King County Parks, or by stopping by the Roads Services map counter on the first floor of the King Street Center building. Or you can download and print your own version from the Virtual Map Counter.
