I'm looking for recommendations for an Survey/Engineer to complete a short plat in Puyallup, Pierce County. 

NAA survey can also give you a high level starting point.Utilities can be estimated based on the current numbers but, again, you need to see T12 for that.

I do not want to cause grief on the person that lives there by stopping in and questioning but thought about sending a letter to see if they would allow the 31% or 62% to be sold and allow a survey and appraisal to be done.How would I go about purchasing the 31% owned by the bank and getting a clear title?

Surveys have been completed but needs to sell to pay off other unexpected bills. 

He could survey a vacant lot where the proposed plant was to be built and using a slide ruler with a tape measure he could pinpoint within an inch the exact same location the licensed surveyors marked using their transits.  

Survey, appraisal, title insurance, etc. 

Title All Endorsements - 140Title closing/Escrow 700Title Lender policy - 633Title Survey - 400Title Courier - 100

It is my understanding that boundary surveys are not included with title insurance..

Member directory, bulk emails/SMS, group administration, surveys, visitor stats, custom emails/site domains, but most all capabilities (other than calendars, directory, and custom pages are all under the $25/mo pricing tier. 

@James Wise  Per your request.Coming out of the late 1800s most of the major west coast cities that we know and love like LA  SF  PDX SEATAC were all subdivided by the same engineering firms  at least SF and Portlandia were.. this led to land speculators in the day going out into the Western deserts and other remote areas.. buying what were large land holdings , Spanish land grants and other lands that were not govmit owned.. then in the day you could simply create massive subdivisions buy doing basic surveys off of the base and meridian lines.. which all of the west is surveyed off of... this is called section land.then create these massive tracks of lots.. some were like up in the apple valley, Lancaster,  Barstow type areas mainly 5 acre tracts.. and were done on a grid pattern.. streets in ( mapped but not built)  and of course spiraled out of a small little town off the railroad track or the few roads that existed in those days.. you took your map and recorded it at the county, county was happy they just got 5 thousand lots they could send out tax bills on..
