[UW-GIS-L] data for the Burke

[Aimee A. Pierce]

Hello list,

I had a patron come in today interested in finding all sorts of base data for Washington State.  He is trying to improve GIS at the Burke Museum.  We have found some data, but he is hoping to find complete shapefiles of geology, landcover and contours for the entrie state of Washington-not shapefiles of sections of Washington.  Is this type of information available?  It seems to me this type of data would be too large to put in a single shapefile, and while I have found the little section shapefiles I cannot find a larger state shapefile.  Am I correct in my assumption or am I missing some leads?  The information I have found seems to be too general in detail for what he is looking for.  He would be interested in scales from 1:24,000 to 1:200,000. 

Thanks for any help.
