Purpose

This layer was created from the comprehensive plan land use layer to allow rural towns to be mapped and labled with their community names

Abstract

Derived from King County comprehensive plan data.

The rural towns allow urban land uses in the rural area.

They are historic communities that were not incorporated, and subsequent to the Washington State GMA, and the adoption of the King County Urban Growth Boundary, are not eligable to be incorporated.
