Providing GIS Data for Forest Practices Activities Throughout Washington
Update
The Forest Practices Application Mapping Tool (FPAMT), Forest Practices Applications Statewide Search Tool, GIS data layers, and ArcGIS Rest services have returned to working status following a recent database transition. DNR believes that the data errors have been resolved, but staff will monitor the data over the next few days to ensure this. Please report any issues to fpOnline-support@dnr.wa.gov
Spatial updates were temporarily delayed for any FPA/Ns that were received around or since June 29, 2026. These FPA/N areas will be viewable in the mapping tools as soon as the backlog is resolved. This message will be updated or removed at that time.
The Forest Practices Division develops and maintains data and software programs to support our mission to protect public resources while maintaining a viable timber industry.
You can find and download the latest GIS data on the WA DNR GIS Open Data portal found by clicking here and then selecting the Forest Practices subject area icon.
Most of the data found there can be downloaded in the form of a shapefile, geodatabase, or kml. The GIS service address is also available for some of the data, that GIS service url can be added in ArcGIS providing a link to the data without needing to download.
If you have questions about a particular data set, please contact the data steward (who will be listed in the data documentation). If you have other questions about Forest Practices data or software, please contact the Forest Practices Help Desk at fpars-admin@dnr.wa.gov.
Note: Errors in data are inevitable. While we do our best to produce the best data possible, you may find a problem that we overlooked. Please report errors to the appropriate data steward as listed in the data documentation for each dataset.
