Wildland Urban Interface in King County

For more information about this layer please see the GIS Data Catalog. Shows the presence of relevant classifications of the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) area for properties in King County under the State Building Codes effective 10/29/23. Building codes include new requirements for new or remodeled structures within the WUI area, as designated by Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR has published a map showing the designated WUI area. This layer is derived from the DNR layer so that the public and County staff can know which new projects are subject to WUI requirements.This layer represents a extract of the Washington Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) as mapped for 2019 by WA State Dept. of Natural Resources - Wildfire & Forest Health Divisions under consultation from the USFS Rocky Mtn Research Station. The Dept was required by SB 6109 to map the WUI in WA State for the purpose of county-based building code adoptions. The WUI depicts areas of WA where structures and wildland overlap with specific structure densities. For more information about the WUI, please contact: [e-mail] the time of publication in August 2023, the DNR WUI map can be found at https://geo.wa.gov/maps/786aaa1dbbd748e6ae04bc43c8f127fe/explore?location=47.398007%2C-122.048367%2C12.8All areas designated as “interface” or “Intermix” in the DNR map are classified as “Wildland Urban Interface” area in this layer. They are treated the same in building code regulation. All areas designated as “Vegetated Uninhabited” in the state map should be classified as “Vegetated Uninhabited – Wildlands” in this layer.如需了解该图层的更多详情，请查阅GIS数据目录。本图层展示了于2023年10月29日生效的华盛顿州建筑规范下，金县（King County）内地块相关的城市荒野交错区（Wildland Urban Interface, WUI）分类分布情况。 该建筑规范针对华盛顿州自然资源部（Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources, DNR）划定的WUI区域内的新建或改建建筑提出了全新要求。 DNR已发布包含划定WUI范围的地图，本图层即源自该DNR图层，以便公众与县府工作人员能够快速甄别哪些新建项目需遵循WUI相关规范要求。 本图层源自华盛顿州自然资源部野火与森林健康部门（WA State Dept. of Natural Resources - Wildfire & Forest Health Divisions）在美国林务局落基山研究站（USFS Rocky Mtn Research Station）协作下于2019年绘制的华盛顿州WUI地图数据。 根据《SB 6109法案》要求，该部门需完成华盛顿州WUI范围制图，以支撑各郡落实适配本地的建筑规范。 WUI用于标识华盛顿州内建筑与荒野区域重叠且符合特定建筑密度要求的区域。 如需了解WUI的更多详情，请联系：[e-mail] 本图层于2023年8月发布时，DNR的WUI地图可通过以下链接获取：https://geo.wa.gov/maps/786aaa1dbbd748e6ae04bc43c8f127fe/explore?location=47.398007%2C-122.048367%2C12.8 DNR地图中标记为“界面区（interface）”或“混合区（Intermix）”的区域，在本图层中将被归类为“城市荒野交错区”，二者在建筑规范监管中执行同一标准。州级地图中标记为“植被覆盖无人区”的区域，在本图层中应归类为“植被覆盖无人区——荒野地”。
