Puget Sound Regional Council Data and Resources

The Puget Sound Regional Council is responsible for developing policies and coordinating decisions about regional growth, transportation, and economic development planning in Kitsap, King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties. They have a huge library of data and resources. 

They are the big player in planning and development around Puget Sound. The resources available to them and to us, the business community, is staggering. I would love to offer a quick summary of the information available, but I hardly know where to start. The PSRC Data and resources page is a huge accordion file that unfolds and then unfolds some more divulging an endless sea of data points, studies, maps, and other resources.

Here is a quick (partial) rundown:

• PSRC data products and tools include the following menu items:
