Checked out OpenSidewalks.com which is from UW'S Taskar Center for Accessible Technology. They are doing a lot of work on sidewalk routing. The goal is to help people with limited mobility move about but at the same time they are helping pedestrians.

Please stop importing without first talking to the local community.

We typically only name features that are named. Like buildings and streets. There has been discussion about naming sidewalks but it's not settled yet. Is there a reason you are naming these?

First off, I've never been to these locations. The camp site near Lake Watson is relatively close to two trails. The camp site near Upper Anderson Lake has two trails, one to the north and one to the NW. If you don't really need a trail then I wouldn't add it, but otherwise if you could show the trail to the site that might help someone else.

I didn't know that. I've use NHD before but that's just coping and pasting streams into OSM. I just assumed that one name one stream. Good to know.

This is perfect!

It looks like the stream splits but still has the same name. Is that correct?

When lakes in a group have the same name, I use a relation. Just select the lakes, right click and hit the + button to create the relation.

The stream crosses a path. There should either be a ford tag or a bridge.

Thank you for your edit. I reviewed your work and it look good. Both sites appears to be a distance from the trail. Does that sound right?

The osm.org map is designed for us mappers. The designers do their best to show as much of what we mapped as possible. We expect data consumers to remove features that they don't want to show, which hopefully is razed features. (Although I know of one app that showed the razed railway)

Since there is no trace left, then it should like it should no longer be in OSM.

There is another project, OpenHistoricalMap, that tries to add in old features. They even have some of Seattle. Unfortunately it's not as active as OSM.

We don't really have a tag for informal encampments. There should be for those that are official sanctioned by the city or county.

The problem with the informal encampments is they are temporary. OSM discourages mapping those features. I'm not saying the informal encampments shouldn't be mapped, but suggestion there may be better venues than OSM. OSM could be the basemap with another layer showing those informal sites.

Have you considered using QGIS to build a layer on top of OSM that shows these locations? Of course you'd need a way to publish your map. QGIS does have the tools you'd need to create such a map.

Tip: use a tag to describe a feature instead of name=Homeless encampment. Since these are illegal camp_sites, I don't believe they belong in OSM. Can you please remove them?

You are correct - the railroads no long exist and were tagged as razed. It's one of the few features that no longer exist that are in OSM. Usually because there some artifacts remaining. I'm actually using one to help plan a bike route in Eastern Washington. If you have no objections, I'll add the razed line back in.

Thanks for the improvements in the light rail lines.
