We've assembled a curated list of resources for mapping Washington State forest resources, infrastructure and wood processing sites to facilitate analysis and generate a better understanding of timber and biomass opportunities in the state. Our Open Data ArcGIS site (an ESRI account is required) has: Map Applications and GIS-ready Feature Services (data).
Below are the resources assembled for this project, including: web maps, spatial datasets, geospatial data portals, reports, and other websites. These resources are grouped by subject.
Maps
Direct access to the maps developed for this project through the UW ArcGIS site:
Power Production and Distribution
Rail and Water Transportation
Forest Products Processing Facilities
Mass Timber Projects
Data, Websites, and Reports
Geospatial Data Portals
These are collections of spatial datasets provided by each organization. The datasets found here can be loaded into GIS software or viewed in online maps.
Forest Resources
Reference
Websites with information on the status of the forest industry in Washington.
Forest Inventory
Spatial datasets produced by WADNR, estimating forest inventory in Washington.
Fire Risk
Spatial datasets estimating risk from wildfires.
Forest Products
Mass Timber
Websites containing lists of mass timber manufacturers and projects in Washington.
Energy
Power Plants
These spatial datasets of U.S. power plants and refineries.
Power Transmission Lines
These are spatial datasets and maps of electric power transmission assets as well as a report on Washington's energy sector.
Pipelines
These are spatial datasets and maps of oil, gas, and petroleum product pipelines as well as a report on Washington's energy sector.
Transportation
Railroads
These are rail transportation spatial datasets and maps maintained by various organizations.
Intermodal
These are intermodal transportation facility spatial datasets and maps.
Roads
These are road transportation spatial datasets and maps maintained by various organizations.
Water Transportation
These are water transportation spatial datasets and maps, including navigable waterways, locks, and ports. There are also several reports assessing the water transportation network in Washington.
