boundaries.seattle.io

Wondering if a point is inside a city park? Know your latitude and longitude but not sure which city council district you're in? Want to know all the Seattle-related boundaries that a point is inside?

Send a request like this:

https://boundaries-api.seattle.io/boundaries?long=-122.345002&lat=47.667044

Get a FeatureCollection of the matching features from each dataset in response.

Additionally, you can append the extension .topojson to receive the response back in TopoJSON, e.g., the previous request would become http://boundaries.seattle.io/boundaries.topojson?long=-122.345002&lat=47.667044.
