Have you looked in the WDFW game pamphlet yet? Alot of what is off limits due to regs, private land is clearly outlined....Get a Wash Atlas and Gazeteer(somthin lik that)...mark the boundries and it'll elimanate alot of stuff you can't hunt. BLM, Timber Cos, DNR land you'll have to dig further.
Looking for a solid place to hunt, try Champion/Rainer/Plum timber, Weyerhauser has a tract in Lewis Co that's pretty good...call em.

Not to confuse your search anymore but you can get good topos and aerial photos form these two sites also. The teraserver site you can customize the area that yo want a map of.

It ain't hard. If you get out into the hills there aren't many small landowners. The west slopes of the Cascades are mostly run by DNR, Forest Service, or private timber companies. You can hunt all the DNR and FS land. Timber companies that limit access to their land will have it marked at their gates. The majority allow hunting, some prohibit motorized vehicles. Just don't hunt in the national parks.
You don't need to go over maps to find this stuff. Hit a gravel road in a rural part of western Washington and you're pretty much there.

This can't be healthy. All this fishing is really messing with my head.

...and if you smell ether, or something that smells like paint thinner, it would be best to just keep moving, away from the area. There be critters there that may not be as smart as the ones you're hunting, but possibly armed, and unpredictably dangerous.
Topozone, Terraserver, GoogleEarth, and all mapping co's pretty much use the same data or content from NAVTEQ or USGS or such, but there are differences in how they present it. I've found comments on map sites - wayy too technical for me, maybe Goose understands some of it ;-) - that indicate that a lot of the USGS maps, on which nearly ALL other maps are based, are not as accurate as we think. Often the resolution on locations can be off as much as 10m = 32ft. Not much of an issue in determining hunting boundaries, but a pain when doing Orienteering or GeoCaching using a map n compass.
On aerial photos:
I've found that on the west side of the Cascades, the aerial photos are often quite out-of-date and the roads, trails etc may be completely different on the ground from what a 20 yr old photo may show. I've found that copyright dates are not always the same as the actual photo date.
I've found, for example, bridges that washed out in 91 on photos w/ copyright of 2005.
Look up the aerial photos of your own house on GoogleEarth and Windows Live Local, or whatever the name of the wk is for the MS site, and you'll get an idea how out of date it might be. The photo of own place is at least 8 yrs old, based on vehicles, trees etc that you can see.
If you're looking for listed owners of property in Snohomish county, you can go online to the county assessor's site and poke around til you find the SCOPI tool which is a very cool map tool that will, after some playing around, be able to show you all the info on who owns a parcel of land. It gets a bit tough to reconcile the map to the aerial photo and the tax parcel #'s but it's all there.
Or, you could just drive out on a road and walk up in to the bush. What do I know? I've never hunted anything but waterfalls, and they stay put when you try to shoot em.
