Data Download

The Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium has been collecting LiDAR data since 2000. The consortium established an inter-agency contract used by numerous entities to collect LiDAR data for their projects. As part of the contract, all data collected through the PSLC adheres to a set of technical specifications design for best result in the Pacific Northwest. The consortium also makes available data acquired by other agencies under their own contract and specifications.

Update Policy
As we approve data from the contractor they are posted here. Areas within many of the bare-earth DEMs can be improved by further processing of the all-return point data to better isolate bare-earth points. As we make these improvements we will upgrade the bare-earth DEMs and derivative images posted here.

Technical Assistance
If you have difficulty loading the data files into your software, cannot easily transfer large files via the Internet, or would like advice on the uses and limitations of these data, please reference our frequently asked questions. If you can't find what you need here, contact us.
