Description: This dataset represents a composite of the best-available bathymetry and topography for Puget Sound, Hood Canal, Lake Washington and the surrounding lowlands as of January 2005. Contours derived from resampled (to 90ft cells) DEM and smoothed. Depth contours: 0, every 2 ft to -40, then every 10ft to -100, then every 100ft to -900. NAVD88 datum.
