COMMON QUESTIONS

Washington county map questions.

Does this page cover Washington, D.C.?

It covers Washington State, Census state FIPS 53. Use five-digit codes beginning with 53 for its county rows.

Can I color islands within San Juan County separately?

For this county map, all pieces of San Juan County use GEOID 53055 and share a fill. Island-level data requires a different boundary layer.

How do I map a Seattle-area observation?

Use King County’s GEOID 53033 for an estimate that covers the whole county. A Seattle city figure covers a different geography.

What shows the difference between King and Pierce?

The population map shows total change, while the domestic migration map compares net internal moves. King grew with net domestic losses and Pierce recorded net domestic gains.

Can I make one map of inland Washington and Idaho?

Use the national county editor to include both states. Its five-digit county GEOIDs support a consistent join across the state line.

How much shoreline detail does the map preserve?

The 1:500,000 cartographic source is intended for statewide views. It retains major shoreline and island shapes with small features generalized.
