Description: These maps delineate the entire Puget Sound shoreline by geomorphic type. The primary purpose of the mapping was to identify feeder bluffs, eroding shorelines that are important to maintaining nearby beaches. Knowledge of the distribution of these features can be used by local planners and resource agencies to better manage Puget Sound shorelines. The study emphasized mapping of coastal bluffs, but also extended to a wide range of other coastal landforms, including rocky shores, river deltas, and small lagoons and estuaries. This mapping project is described in the following report, available from the Department of Ecology:MacLennan., A. Johannessen, J.W., Williams, S.A., Gerstel, W., Waggoner, J.F., and Bailey, A., 2013, Feeder Bluff Mapping of Puget Sound, prepared by Coastal Geologic Services, Bellingham, for Washington Department of Ecology, Olympia WA, 117 pp and map folio.
Copyright Text: These maps were developed by Coastal Geologic Services for the Department of Ecology as part of a project looking at feeder bluffs on Puget Sound. This project was managed at Ecology by Hugh Shipman. Funding was from the United States Environmental Protection Agency under Assistance Agreement PC 00J29801 to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and was administered by the Lead Organization for Marine and Nearshore Grants at WDFW.

Description: Difference between new Island County Armor Mapping data collected by Coastal Geologic Services and all historical armor presence data used in this project, including Beach Watchers for accretion shoreforms and shoreforms with no appreciable net shore-drift (per Feeder Bluff Mapping) and Feeder Bluff Mapping data elsewhere. Although these data represent apparent additions, they include thousands of feet of armor missed in 2002-2004 mapping, mostly armor on the Naval Air Station. Interpret with caution.
Copyright Text: This feature class was created by Coastal Geologic Services Inc. as part of the Island County Armor Mapping project, for the Island County Department of Natural Resorces, with federal and state funding through the Salmon Recovery Funding Board. Washington RCO #15-1392P. CGS project managers were Andrea MacLennan and Branden Rishel.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>Points of Tidal properties. This layer only reflects tide parcels that have a different parcel number than the adjacent land parcel. The idea is to show the parcel does exist, it is not a polygon since boundaries and dimensions change. Georeferenced mylar maps were used to find the location of these tidal properties using GIS. State tidelands that do not have a parcel number are not shown. Tracts in plats that do not show a separate parcel number on the map are not shown. </SPAN></P></DIV>

Description: This shapefile represents areas that would be expected to be inundated by tsunamis generated by scenario earthquakes. The areas are identified by numerical models that are adjusted for local topography or paleoseismic data. The areas for which data are shown include parts of the shorelines of Pacific, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Clallam, Island, King, Skagit, and Whatcom Counties, Washington. These data were developed for three different earthquake scenarios, identified as Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) scenario1A, scenario 1A with asperity, and the Seattle fault scenario.
