Umm... Pierce? C'mon Alcon
And do the Executive race if you have a chance
I'd really love to but they charge like $75 and have a five-map minimum, or something (I really hope they didn't mean a minimum $75*5). I'll probably swallow hard and ask for it as an early Christmas present.
Seriously? Pat McCarthy will be getting an angry phone call.
I'm not sure that Pat has much pull in the GIS office. Otherwise the elections departments' maps would probably have been updated since 2004. But if she does, by all means, she should get on their asses. That kind of thing should be free, especially to adorable high school students like us with graduation projects (which may not exist but STILL.)
This is the most recent file I see, but I'm sure they have 2008 (they redistricted hugely in 2002, but they've added a few small precincts since). I don't like this "we'll give you an estimate but it might be higher" crap they have up either, that's just stupid for copying a freaking shapefile to CD.
Edit: Maybe I should just contact whoever in the state Dem party owns this and beg them.
What's the GIS office? I thought you were getting these from the Elections Departments.
And I'd give the WSDCC a try. They should hopefully be pretty friendly (especially for a high school project).
