The problem with those types of maps it it's hard to navigate. Seattle's is very difficult because it changes the zoom levels automatically when you click.
Some times its just easier to ask someone at the city office.

I saw that when I was over in Portland recently.
You guys have it good, that's a waaaaay better resource than I've ever seen, anywhere. Maybe I'm just used to digging through tons of digitized image maps and finding nothing, or searching through a GIS database where sewers and drains are all the wrong size and shape, but Portland's system blew me away in it's scope and ease of use.
Also, from what I've seen in other cities, asking the city for maps can sometimes get online sewer maps removed! Often they don't quite realize what they're giving away until someone points it out, so be circumspect in your inquiries.

Sorry We tried to contact you and Noah Vale and only ended up getting Noah. Atomic (Rinker's Revenge) is living there now, and I guess finding new sites on a daily basis!
