Summary

Location and description of various points of common interest.

Includes abbreviation of name for labeling purposes, and cross-reference to King County address database, ADDRESS_POINT.

Description

Authoritative Points-of-Interest layer for King County.

Contains over 45 different domain classes showing locations and names for a range of different features.

Some classes of features are extensively documented (such as school sites and hospitals) while other classes represent a selected set of all the features of that type (such as hotels and shopping centers).

Each feature is represented by a single point describing the centroid of the feature.

Multiple points for a single XY coordinate may exist if more than one domain is represented.

In other words, a single feature may represent a hospital, but that same point may be represented by another feature (i.e., record) described as a Public Health Clinic.

Signficant reviews/updates across a specific domain are described in the Lineage of COMMON_INTEREST_POINT and any domain-specific datasets; other corrections and adhoc updates are not detailed in the Lineage.
