Spatial Analysis with GIS

For this assignment I did steps 1-5.

Assignment 1 and 2:

Step 3: The query I used to identify all the cities that had a population more than 500,000:

"pop2000">500000

29 cities qualified for this attribute and I noticed a great majority of these cities were located on the coast or near bodies of water. Below is a snapshot showing the location of these cities.

Steps 4 and 5:

There were 99 cities completely in Washington and two bordering states (Idaho and Oregon).
