Washington geography on the Disaster Public Assistance tag

WA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Seattle, Spokane, or Olympia can share the tag. Awards coded to Oregon or Idaho stay outside $2,893,833,237.64 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. A Puget Sound applicant and a Columbia Basin applicant share one WA code. The code does not convert $2.89 billion into a damage map.

Washington federal spending is the all-program parent. 97.036 is one row on Washington programs. $2.89 billion is not the state's complete federal footprint.
