Hi all,
We've done three mappy hours now I think? To me they are great fun and
useful. That is not to say we can't improve. What are your
suggestions? I am particularly interested in hearing from folks who

Jeff,
Have you had a chance to look at the data from King County yet? Do they
have more current addresses than Seattle? Seattle was as of 2009. Probably
not much as changed as Seattle is pretty much built out, but there may have

I won't be in the meeting but there's a (small) dataset that could be

I would highly encourage anyone who's pursuing these types of datasets to
not be deterred by these statements & force local authorities to confirm
that this policy is indeed prohibitive. You can ask local authorities if
the data will be opened or if they would release it for use in OSM under a

I have had no trouble obtaining data from various governments here in
Utah. Once they made me do a GRAMA[1] and the data is not always
readily available for download, but so far I have gotten what I asked
for at the city of Salt Lake, the transit agency UTA as well as the
