In UW Earth sciences (contact Harvey or Ralph):
DEMs: 10-meter for SW Washington and central Puget Lowland
30-meter for all of Washington, much of Oregon
(see displays on 100 floor of Johnson Hall)
250-meter for Pacific NW (133W-116W, 39N-53N)
DLGs: clean 100K hydrography for western Washington
Geology: some problems (mostly release policies), but RH has all of Pacific NW (coast to 116W, 42N-53N) at various scales and qualities; best for west-central Washington
Seismicity: Pacific NW Network catalog is online, but needs format conversion

USGS@UW: coming soon??
On UW campus:
many CDs in Map Library (1:2.5M geology of US, 1:2M geology of northern Cordillera, 1:5M geology of Canada, Geologic map of Nevada,
NOAA bathymetry, ...)
Government Publications has City of Seattle GIS on CD-ROM, including
2' contours of topography
