A polygon feature class showing Riparian Corridors in Seattle. Used to implement and regulate the City of Seattle's Environmentally Critical Areas (ECA) policies.  

The riparian corridor includes the riparian watercourse and the riparian management area. The riparian watercourse is the watercourse of Type F, Np, and Ns waters defined in WAC 222-16-030 and 222-16-031 that have fish or wildlife habitat. The riparian management area is the area within 100 feet of the riparian watercourse measured horizontally landward from the ordinary high water mark of the watercourse as surveyed in the field, or from the top of the bank if the ordinary high water mark cannot be determined.
