News: Draw your neighborhood boundary on a map  — 2 years ago

On neighborhood maps you can now draw and edit boundary lines. It’s pretty sweet. I just drew the neighborhood boundary for Capitol Hill in Seattle.

You’ll see a “create neighborhood boundary” link at the top of neighborhood map pages. Clik that to get started. A tip: when you’re setting points for drawing the boundary line you can always click “remove last point” to go back a pinpoint.

Todd just fixed this. Some browsers (like ours) were seeing it great because they defaulted to the correct style. So Todd set the style to a thickness and color purple that should show up for all browsers now. Let us know if it looks good …

Looks good to me! I like the purple—it’s noticable but not too distracting.

Can you try setting the boundary line for Belltown to see if it works for you? I’ll even provide you a definitive Belltown boundary map so you don’t have to look it up.

I’d like to make sure it works well enough for a non-Robot.

I did it I did it. It was fun! I like making the lines although I am perfectionist so I had to do it 200 times and it is still not totally perfect. :s

Yep, looks great. Awesome tool. It’s like that Gmaps Pedometer thing.

You redrew my Mount Baker!

You absorbed Courtland Place, the Rainier Valley and about half the Genesee Neighborhood into Mount Baker. Holy Neighborhood imperialism! And you cut out the Mt Baker Rowing Center. What gives? We need to add comments to those maps for the neighborhood turf battles.

Let the games begin. :-)

I was refering to the City Clerk’s neighborhood map here. Their’s could be old or just inaccurate.

That's a good map

I never really believed in Courtland Place or the Genesee Business District anyway (the real Genesee is in W Seattle). I’m not sure what I think of their version of Rainier Valley. Apparently it includes all of Mount Baker & Columbia City.
