The NWIFC and WDFW combined data area is within the boundaries of Washington State Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA) 01 -- 23. This is the western Washington region including the western Washington Cascades, the Puget Sound, the Hood Canal, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Olympic peninsula from the Nooksack River in the north (WRIA 01) to the Chehalis River (WRIA 22/23) in the South.
