Other Services
At the core of everything we do is our recreation data and map templates. In addition to our state-wide web maps and apps, Washington Hometown offers many ways for you to use our recreation data to tell your own story.
Real Estate
The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" has never been more true than in real estate. Let us help you show why a recreation property is special with custom print maps, web maps or data for your mapping application. Instead of just telling buyers about the nearby recreation amenities show it with a map.
Maps for Sellers and Buyers
Use maps to show the benefits of a property’s location. Instead of just telling people that a property has great recreation opportunities, is near schools and parks, or is a perfect location for boating and fishing show it.
Maps for sellers highlight what is important about a property.
Maps for buyers connect all of the places that they are looking at, helping them navigate the options.

Law
Maps and spatial analysis can be valuable assets to help understand an issue, quantify conditions and illustrate a point.
Northwest Portal’s founder Jennifer has a masters in Resource Management with a specialty in Washington State water policy and has over a decade of experience working to create maps and provide information for water law projects, but we can also support other types of litigation.
Examples of how Northwest Portal can support attorneys through:
Maps for exhibits,
Identify water rights that serve a property, areas that are served by a specific water right, or show the legal location of the diversion point.
Calculate area that meet one or more conditions including buffers, slope, flood zone, water right, etc.
Use old photos to prove historic use.
Map legal descriptions for illustration purposes using parcel and Township-Range section layers.
Research property ownership using county parcel data.
