Title
Regional Geographies [Washington (State)--Puget Sound Region]
Description
Regional Geographies, as designated in Vision 2050. Please note that this layer currently only shows areas within the Urban Growth Area. In VISION 2050's Regional Growth Strategy, the region's landscape has been divided into nine types of geographies based on their size, function, and access to high-capacity transit: Metropolitan Cities (5 cities) and Core Cities (16 cities, including unincorporated Silverdale) include cities that have designated regional growth centers. Most are also connected to the region's high-capacity transit system. These two groups of cities are and will be the most intensely urban places in the region. High Capacity Transit Communities (34 cities and unincorporated communities) are cities and unincorporated areas that are connected to the regional high-capacity transit system. These urban unincorporated areas are also planned for annexation or incorporation. Cities and Towns (42 cities) are cities and towns with smaller downtown and local centers, which may be served by local transit. Urban Unincorporated Areas capture a wide variety of urban lands, both lightly and heavily developed. These areas may be served by local transit and may include areas identified as potential annexation or incorporation areas. Rural Areas and Natural Resources Lands describe the different types of unincorporated areas outside the urban growth area and include very low-density housing, working landscapes, and open space. Major Military Installations serve as hubs for both military and civilian employment and population. Indian Reservation Lands are permanent homelands of sovereign tribal nations designated through treaty, Executive, or Congressional Acts and are the home of the region's native cultures and traditions. Tribes also retain interests and ownership of off-reservation land. https://www.psrc.org/sites/default/files/vision-2050-mpp-rgs.pdf
