How to Use This Adams, Washington Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Adams, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Adams.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Adams, Washington
Adams is a locality in King County, Washington, United States. It is a small community with a population of 320. The population density is 5.0 people per km². Adams is located at 47.6703°N, 122.3881°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 98107, 99101.Adams holds the salt-heavy air of the Pacific in its lungs, defined by the constant, rhythmic passage of the Lake Washington Ship Canal as it carves a deliberate path toward Salmon Bay. The water here is a dark, churning ribbon that mirrors the slate-colored sky, separating the shore from the distant, hazy silhouette of the Olympic Mountains that rise like jagged teeth against the western horizon. Beyond the immediate banks, the land holds a quiet stillness, punctuated only by the communal hum of Ballard Commons Park, where the grass stays perpetually dampened by the mist. Two miles out, the low profile of Duck Island emerges from the tide, a solitary smudge of green against the gray expanse that dictates the mood of every afternoon.
Adams carries the weight of a working harbor, where the economy is measured in the steady pulse of maritime industry and the seasonal shifts of the tide. The history of the place is etched not in monuments, but in the weathered wood of the docks and the steady, unpretentious labor of those who navigate the canal to reach the open sea. While the bustle of the city feels worlds away, the atmosphere remains deeply tied to the water, a place where the light at dusk turns the surface of the channel into a sheet of hammered pewter. Residents find their rhythm in the simple transition from the shore to the interior, far removed from the distant echoes of the Burke Gilman Trail or the deeper, inland reaches of Fairmount Gulch, content to let the tides define the boundaries of their day.

About This Adams Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Adams, Washington. Coordinates: 47.670278, -122.388056. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Adams includes the ZIP code (98107, 99101), telephone area code (206, 253, 509), county seat of King County (Seattle), and school district assignment.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
