WalkScore heat maps

Walk Score is a fantastic tool that does a good job quantifying something very hard to quantify: how walkable an area is. A Seattle condo even advertised its Walk Score as a selling point.

Right now, you can get scores for any specific address, but I’ve long thought that it would be really great to see a map showing walkability across a city. Well, Walk Score is doing just that. They’ve got one for Seattle now, and tell me that many other cities including DC are coming in July.
