Hello: I discovered that Thurston County, WA publishes a database of addresses stored as gps pins inside a shape file. The data can be found here: https://gisdata-thurston.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/thurston-address-points-tcomm?geometry=-122.915%2C47.023%2C-122.914%2C47.023
The license can be seen where it has a link labeled "Custom License" next to a picture of a lock. I didn't see anything in there that would prohibit our use of this, but extra eyes are needed. The database has 128,639 addresses. My goal would be to import the entirety of it into OSM, as Thurston county has very few addresses in OSM. They would be imported as points, since the database has them stored as points. The caveats I see are as follows: * The database probably has some addresses that are wrong. While everything I could verify has been correct, I only checked about 100 addresses. * There may be some overlap with buildings that already had addresses entered. Since Thurston County has very few addresses in OSM, I don't see this being a huge issue. I have never done an import, and I do not know what the process for both consensus and the actual import would be.
