Why does your map show my home information on the house just to the north of mine?

Profile picture for Robert Newcastle
My address is 8012 129th PL SE, Newcastle WA.
The King County Assessor website shows my address mapped to the correct unit, but your map shows my home information on the house next door, to the north. So I think your map is off by one house for the whole block - about 20 houses. This could be confusing for potential home buyers. (My home is not for sale.)

Zillow gets their maps from bing maps, and my outside observer look suggests bing maps (www.maps.bing.com) has slipped your house id one north.   Therefore, I'd contact the bing maps trouble option.

Yes, Bing Maps is wrong, not just for my house but for the block.

That was not an answer to my question about why the Zillow map is completely wrong for my neighborhood. That was a junk mail ad!

Get serious, the Zillow database is WRONG!
