This is an updated version from the 2023 version which now includes standardized attribute fields with domains. The feature class displayed attempt to depict levee centerlines and edge of levee lines as accurately as possible. Primary data sources include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Washington State Department of Ecology along with inputs from local jurisdictions, institutions and tribal sources. The purpose of this dataset is to provide a comprehensive view of the location, and when available, conditions, of levees at the Puget Sound level. Future work will seek to create a comprehensive Statewide levee dataset. Data was derived from disparate sources such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer, Washington State Department of Ecology, and numerous local jurisdictions and Tribes. Due to the varied nature of these disparate sources, a wide array of attributes have been synthesized into the current dataset. The equivalent information/attributes were not always available between data sources. Thus, not all levees display information for all attributes.
