Because the building footprints aren't the best quality, it will take a while.</div><div><br></div><div>As far as the licensing goes, I'm sure if we contact the GIS manager we can get written approval to use the data. Counties and cities are pretty open to sharing their data with OSM. In fact my Marysville import is being done for the city. I attempted to look up the GIS manager but their web page doesn't show one. I'm sure I can get one if we need it. The county does have both addresses and building outlines. I'd encourage you to consider adding both. But, Thurston county has 129K addresses and 146K building outlines. I'd recommend doing the import in smaller chunks like cities or neighborhoods. </div><div><br></div><div>As for the process, once I've made sure the data is in good shape, I split it into small chunks, usually voting districts (even though we don't use them in the state anymore - thank you mail in voting) The data is then fed into OSM US's Tasking Manager for import using JOSM. </div><div><br></div><div>If you'd like to experience what it's like to use the Tasking Manager contact me via email to import some of Marysville. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Clifford</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 9, 2020 at 5:18 PM Pat Tressel <<a href="mailto:ptressel@myuw.net">ptressel@myuw.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Raven --</div><div><br></div><div></div><div></div><div>Our local import expert is Clifford Snow (

) -- he shepherded through the import of house numbers and building footprints for King County. What he did was to split up the data into more manageable pieces, and then put out a call for folks who live in each area to do the import "by hand". My memory is hazy, but the process was something like: We'd open the area in JOSM, then open the file with the house numbers and building polygons as a layer. We'd select and add a few at a time, after checking that they were ok. If you have a local OSM Meetup group, you could rope them in to do the work. Or, perhaps CUGOS folks could help.</div><div><br></div><div>-- Pat<br></div></div>
