For a parcel in or near Pullman, the Pullman GIS map shows parcel boundaries plus basic tax data. Covered here for Pullman: where that map lives, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the Pullman GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Pullman that means the Washington Current Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer.
The viewer Whitman County publishes
Your first stop is the Washington Current Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it covers each assessed parcel from Garfield to Palouse. In and around Albion, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a parcel near Colton, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Land on the county line
Whitman County touches Benewah County, ID, Latah County, ID, Nez Perce County, ID, Adams County, and Asotin County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Uniontown may be split in two county records, so open the adjacent map too. Our state page links every bordering county map across Washington.
Sections, lots and bearings
Washington follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Colton reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Garfield odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Garfield for any title or survey request.
Pullman and the county around it
Pullman is part of Whitman County, Washington, and the county assessor maps its lots. For land near Albion, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits near Colton generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Printing and saving
Save a screenshot of the lot near Garfield and its record panel, so you have it when calling an office.
Getting your bearings
Colfax is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Albion, Colton, Palouse, and Uniontown, each with its own cluster of lots. About 48,012 people call Whitman County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 2,159 square miles. Whitman County was organized in 1871, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like Snake River help you orient on the aerial around Colton.
Troubleshooting the viewer

Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Garfield, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Garfield helps when you meet an owner or agent.
The paper trail behind a parcel
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the County Auditor; the parcel line is a drawing of it. Inherited tracts near Uniontown may go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners for a parcel near Garfield. For a home near Albion, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Beyond the parcel lines
Near Albion, layer lists often include zoning, flood zones, city limits, school districts or contours; not every viewer has them all.
Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Palouse are with the County Auditor, usually searchable by name or document number. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Colfax are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Owner, value and acreage
If sale dates appear, they help gauge the market near Colton give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.
