The Washington State Geospatial Data Archive (WAGDA) is a space to locate geospatial data for the state of Washington. Maintained by The Map Collection & Cartographic Information Services, University of Washington Libraries, this site also contains selected non-Washington geospatial data sets that have been created by students and researchers at the University of Washington.
Some of the datasets located here are restricted by license agreement and are available only to UW faculty, staff, and students. Other datasets are in the public domain.
This site does not provide digital maps. We offer access to digital geospatial data that can be used to make maps when used with GIS software. Our service policy is available online. Questions about data formats can be sent to uwlib-gis@uw.edu.
