These photos were taken on June 16, 2004. The on-the-ground pixel resolution of the images is approximately 2 feet, and the images are rectified to within about 2 feet of existing survey control in the City and about 5 feet of existing survey control in the Lake Whatcom Watershed. The West half of the imagery (covering the salwater shoreline) was flown at a minus 1.7 to minus 1.9 low tide. If you choose to download the image files via FTP and plan to use them in the GIS environment make sure to download the "world" file for each image (the files with "jgw" extensions). Color-infrared copies of the images are also available.
