Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) Administrative Regions are geographically discrete areas within which DCYF administers its programs and services. The DCYF Administrative Regions data set provides time-enabled current and past administrative region boundaries. DCYF was formally established with an effective date of July 1, 2018.

Important Notes:

DCYF administrative region boundaries are composed of entire Washington State County boundaries.

Current administrative region feaures have a "DateEnd" field value of <Null>

Accuracy note - The DCYF Regions boundaries are derived from 2010 US Census County boundaries. These boundaries are known to have significant discrepancies with survey-quality county boundary data available from Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid making any final determinations regarding the DCYF Administrative region in which is located a high-accuracy feature such as an address when it is near a region boundary.
