This data release contains the GIS data supporting U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report (OFR) 2005-1252, "The Geologic Map of Seattle—A Progress Report," published in 2005 by Kathy Goetz Troost, Derek B. Booth, Aaron P. Wisher, and Scott A. Shimel (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051252). The OFR was prepared for the 2005 Washington Hydrogeology Symposium and describes the status of geologic mapping for Seattle, Washington, at the time. The map is the result of field mapping and compilation of subsurface geologic data during the years 1999–2004 and was funded by the City of Seattle and the U.S. Geological Survey. Data from more than 36,000 exploration points, geotechnical borings, monitoring wells, excavations, and outcrops were used in making the map. The northern part of the 2005 OFR and the supporting GIS data were subsequently published as two geologic maps: Booth, D.B., Troost, K.G., and Shimel, S.A., 2005, Geologic map of northwestern Seattle (part of the Seattle North 7.5’ X 15’ Quadrangle), King County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2903, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim2903. Booth, D.B., Troost, K.G., and Shimel, S.A., 2009, Geologic map of northeastern Seattle (part of the Seattle North 7.5' x 15' quadrangle), King County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3065, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3065. The southern part of the 2005 OFR and the supporting GIS data were not subsequently published for various reasons. With the original authors' permission, the GIS data used to create the map shown in OFR 2005-1252 are being released here to best meet modern open-data standards and to allow for use in future studies and mapping. The data included in this data release are only those components necessary to create the map shown in OFR 2005-1252. The following map features were not available and are not included in this data release: bedding point data, faults, anticlines, and contact lines. OFR_2005-1252.gdb is an Esri geodatabase containing the following feature classes: ofr_2005_1252_geology_poly (1,068 features); ofr_2005_1252_fill_poly (424 features); ofr_2005_1252_seattle_fault_zone_poly (1 feature); ofr_2005_1252_wastage_landslide_deposits_poly (188 features); ofr_2005_1252_beds_line (6 features); and ofr_2005_1252_scarp_line (351 features). Metadata records associated with each of these elements contain more detailed descriptions of their purposes, constituent entities, and attributes. A shapefile (non-geodatabase) version of the dataset is also included, although due to character limits, some field names and text cells in the attribute tables were truncated relative to the equivalent values in the geodatabase. The authors ask that users of the geologic map data cite both the open-file report and the GIS data release: Open-File Report: Troost, K.G., Booth, D.B., Wisher, A.P., and Shimel, S.A., 2005, The geologic map of Seattle—a progress report: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2005-1252, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051252.
