See below for maps, high-resolution elevation maps, warning signs and more tools to assist with landslides.

Washington State Department of Ecology: Shorelands and Environmental Assistance Program

Department of Ecology’s Coastal Atlas contains an interactive mapping tool that shows historic shorelines, sea level rise, and more layers related to coastal flooding. The Coastal Atlas also contains aerial shoreline photos taken for multiple years.

Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR)

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hosts resources related to geologic hazards in Washington State. DNR’s Geologic Hazards Maps show landslides across the state and more.

DNR’s Landslides website shows updates on recent landslides, describes warning signs for different types of landslides and more. Some maps contained here are also available through DNR’s Geologic Hazards Maps website, above.

Washington Geologic Information Portal is an interactive map showing landslides and other hazards. Navigate to a specific street address or place using the Address Lookup search box.

DNR’s Lidar Portal allows you to see high-resolution elevation maps and download high-resolution data that can assist with managing landslides.

This list of resources is focused on state-wide information and resources produced by CHRN partners. Contact your city or county planning department for additional local information such as the latest Shoreline Master Program updates, Hazard Mitigation Plans, local maps and more.
