BELLEVUE -- The Nies Mapping Group, of Bellevue, has announced the availability of "a proprietary high resolution color digital orthophoto and 2.0' contour data set covering selected areas of Pierce County, WA."

They cover about 320 square miles and are accurate for maps having a scale of one inch equals 100 feet. Nies says that Pierce County has licensed the imagery to use as a land-base layer in Countyview, the County's Geographic Information System.
