Dear Ms. Nichols:
As requested, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this geotechnical evaluation report
for the proposed single-family residences. As part of our scope of services, we completed a
subsurface exploration, in -situ infiltration testing, laboratory and engineering analyses, and
prepared this written report with our findings and recommendations for the proposed project.
Based on our evaluation, the proposed project is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.

Project Description
ES-7004
Page 2
The subject site is located at 8805 — 220th Street Southwest in Edmonds, Washington, as
illustrated on the attached Vicinity Map (Plate 1). The site consists of one tax parcel (Snohomish
County parcel number 27043000201100) covering 0.75 acres. Based on the referenced survey,
the boundary lines will be adjusted to create three new parcels. The property is currently
developed with a single-family residence, detached garage, and associated improvements. The
subject site generally descends towards the north with total elevation change on the order of five
feet or less. The subject site is bordered to the north by a single-family residence, to the east by
88th Avenue West, to the south by 220th Street Southwest, and to the west by 88th Place West.
We understand the existing single-family residential structure and associated improvements will
be demolished and three new single-family residential structures will be constructed. We
anticipate grading activities will include cuts and fills of about two to four feet to establish the
planned building alignments. However, grading plans were not available at the time this report
was prepared. We understand infiltration and low impact development methods are being
evaluated for stormwater management. Site improvements will also include underground utility
installations.
At the time this report was prepared, specific building load values were not available. However,
we anticipate the proposed residential structures will consist of relatively lightly loaded wood
framing supported on conventional foundations. Based on our experience with similar
developments, we estimate wall loads on the order of one to two kips per linear foot and slab -on -
grade loading of 150 pounds per square foot (psf).
If the above design assumptions are incorrect or change, ESNW should be contacted to review
the recommendations in this report. ESNW should review the final design to verify the
geotechnical recommendations provided in this report have been incorporated into the plans.
Subsurface Conditions
As part of this geotechnical evaluation, an ESNW representative observed, logged, and sampled
four test pits on December 6, 2019, excavated at accessible locations within the proposed
development area, using a mini-trackhoe and operator provided by the client. The approximate
locations of the test pits are depicted on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2). Please refer to the
test pit logs provided as an attachment to this report for a more detailed description of subsurface
conditions. Representative soil samples collected at the test pit locations were analyzed in
general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and USDA methods and
procedures.
Topsoil and Fill
Native topsoil was observed extending to depths of approximately 6 to 12 inches below the
existing ground surface (bgs). The topsoil was characterized by dark brown color and fine organic
material. Fill was encountered at test pit locations TP-1, TP-3, and TP-4 during our fieldwork,
extending to depths of approximately two and one-half to five and one-half feet bgs.

Native Soil
ES-7004
Page 3
Underlying the topsoil and fill, soil conditions at the test pit locations were observed to consist
primarily of silty sand (USCS: SM). A relatively thin layer of poorly graded sand with silt (USCS:
SP-SM) was observed at depth at TP-1 and TP-4 which transitioned to silty sand at depth. Overall
soil relative density increased with depth, extending to the maximum exploration depth of about
seven feet bgs. The native soil was generally observed in a weakly to moderately cemented
condition at about four to five feet bgs.
Geologic Setting
The referenced geologic map resource identifies Vashon till (Qvt) across the site and surrounding
areas. As reported on the geologic map resource, Vashon till typically consists of a nonsorted
mixture of clay, silt, sand, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders. The till was deposited directly by ice
advanced over previously deposited sediment and rocks. In addition, the referenced WSS
resource identifies Alderwood-Urban land complex (Map Unit Symbol: 5) as the primary soil units
underlying the subject site. The Alderwood series was formed in glacial till plains. Based on our
field observations, native soils on the subject site are generally consistent with the geologic
setting outlined in this section.
Groundwater
Groundwater seepage was not observed at the test pit locations during the fieldwork (December
2019). However, perched groundwater seepage is common in glacial till deposits, particularly
during the winter, spring, and early summer months. Groundwater seepage rates and elevations
fluctuate depending on many factors, including precipitation duration and intensity, the time of
year, and soil conditions.
Geologically Hazardous Areas Assessment
As part of this geotechnical evaluation, the referenced chapter of the Edmonds City Code was
reviewed. Based on our investigation and review, there are no geologically hazardous areas
present on or adjacent to the site.
Foundations
The proposed single-family structures can be supported on conventional spread and continuous
footings bearing on undisturbed, competent native soil, compacted native soil, or new structural
fill. Competent native soils, suitable for support of the foundation, should be encountered
beginning at depths of approximately two to three feet bgs. Where loose or unsuitable soil
conditions are encountered at foundation subgrade elevations during site preparation activities,
compaction of the soils to the specifications of structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement
with granular structural fill will be necessary. Structural fill should consist of suitable granular
soils compacted to 95 percent of Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557). Compaction of the soil to the
levels necessary for use as structural fill will be difficult during wet weather conditions. Organic
material exposed at foundation subgrade elevations must be removed and grades restored with
structural fill.
Earth Solutions NW. LLC
Select Homes, Inc. ES-7004
January 22, 2020 Page 4
Provided the structures will be supported as described above, the following parameters can be
used for design of the new foundations:
• Allowable soil bearing capacity 2,500 psf
• Passive earth pressure
• Coefficient of friction
300 pcf (equivalent fluid)
The passive earth pressure and coefficient of friction values included a safety factor of 1.5. A
one-third increase in the allowable soil bearing capacity can be assumed for short-term wind and
seismic loading conditions.
With structural loading as expected, total settlement in the range of one inch is anticipated, with
differential settlement of about one-half inch. The majority of the settlements should occur during
construction, as dead loads are applied.
Seismic Considerations
The 2018 IBC recognizes ASCE for seismic site class definitions. In accordance with Table 20.3-
1 of ASCE, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Site Class D, should be
used for design.
In our opinion, the site susceptibility to liquefaction is negligible. The native soil relative density
and the absence of an established, shallow groundwater table are the primary bases for this
opinion.
Drainage
Temporary measures to control surface water runoff during construction would likely involve
passive elements such as interceptor trenches and sumps. ESNW should be consulted during
preliminary grading activities to evaluate seepage areas and provide recommendations to
reduce the potential for seepage -related instability.
Finish grades should be designed to direct surface water away from structures and slopes.
Grades adjacent to buildings should be sloped away at a gradient of either at least 2 percent for
a horizontal distance of up to 10 feet or the maximum allowed by adjacent structures. In our
opinion, foundation drains should be installed along building perimeter footings.
Infiltration Evaluation
As indicated in the Subsurface Conditions section, native soils encountered during our fieldwork
were characterized primarily as silty sand with gravel glacial till deposits. Based on the results of
USDA textural analyses, the native soils were classified primarily as loamy sand with fines
contents of about 12 to 22 percent.

In -situ testing was completed in accordance with the Small-scale Pilot Infiltration Test (PIT)
procedure, as outlined in Volume III, Chapter 3, Page 526 of the 2014 SMMWW. The testing
was completed at a depth of approximately four feet at TP-2. The in -situ rate obtained during
testing was 0.13 inches per hour.
Soil Infiltration Characteristics
The observed unweathered glacial till soil deposits at relatively shallow depths exhibit very poor
soil infiltration characteristics. Based on the observed shallow depth to dense unweathered
glacial till deposits and the results of the PIT, we do not recommend utilizing infiltration systems
for the proposed development.
On -site Stormwater Manaaement
Pursuant to City of Edmonds stormwater management requirements, implementation of on -site
stormwater BMPs are required for proposed developments in accordance with specified
thresholds, standards, and lists. The intent of BMP implementation is to infiltrate, disperse, and
retain stormwater runoff on site to the extent feasible. The table below summarizes our
evaluation of low impact development methods, as outlined in the referenced stormwater manual,
from a geotechnical standpoint. It is instructed in the referenced stormwater manual that BMPs
are to be considered in the order listed (from top to bottom) for each surface type, and the first
BMP that is determined to be viable should be used. For completeness, however, we have
evaluated each listed BMP for the proposed surface types.
