I been using the TIGER 2011 data as a layer in JOSM to trace in new streets. But let me assure you that even the newest TIGER data isn't all that accurate. There are streets going through buildings. So I concur that we don't want an import of buildings without better testing. BTW - for those familiar with Seattle, the area appears to be the International District (ID) from the King Street Station going east. Clifford
