WASHINGTON OFFICIAL MAPS

 

Notes:

 

Maps prior to 1931 were produced for internal use, and not meant for general distribution to the public.

 

Many maps from 1959 to 1994 have two covers which could be considered the front. Only one side is described here.

 

Maps dated 1973 through 1982 include strip maps of I-5 and I-90. These were dropped from the map in 1984, but were then issued as a separate "Interstate Guide" publication in 1986. Further editions have been produced in 1991 and 1997.
