The City's Department of Design, Construction and Land Use has launched new online features that allow for much more efficient public access to information about Seattle properties via the Internet.

The core of the improved service is an online mapping feature that allows the user to create individualized maps for specific properties.

Beginning with an address, street intersections or common names of well-known properties, users can manipulate the City of Seattle's Geographical Information System to create a printable map with several layers of detail.

Among other options, the maps can be built to include streets, parcels, building outlines, zoning, environmental critical areas, shoreline designations and city-owned properties. Also available are 1993 and 1999 aerial photos of property.
