Looking for a map of water sources for the property you just purchased for your new Washington-based business? Or perhaps a survey of roads in your county? Access the Washington Geographic Information Council's Web site for geospatial and geographic data and maps. The site is essentially a clearinghouse of data from other agencies and academic institutions, containing links and brief descriptions. It takes some persistence to sort out where to find the information you need and some time to actually get there; however, the amount of data that can be accessed from the site is worth all efforts.
