1.0 Introduction
This Geotechnical Engineering Report (GER) presents the results of the geotechnical
engineering services provided for the proposed Housing Hope Edmonds in Edmonds,
Washington. The purpose of this GER is to assess subsurface conditions and provide
geotechnical recommendations for the construction of a new building to the south of the
existing building with a detention pond. Our scope of services included field explorations,
laboratory testing, engineering analyses, and preparation of this GER.
The recommendations in the following sections of this GER are based upon our current
understanding of the proposed site development as outlined below. If actual features
vary or changes are made, RGI should review them in order to modify our
recommendations as required. In addition, RGI requests to review the site grading plan,
final design drawings and specifications when available to verify that our project
understanding is correct and that our recommendations have been properly interpreted
and incorporated into the project design and construction.
2.0 Project Description
The project site is located to the 82XX 236th Street Southwest in Edmonds, Washington.
The approximate location of the site is shown on Figure 1.
The site includes a tax parcel of 1.35 acres in size. RGI understands that the project will
include two multi -family residential buildings about 55,215 square feet with related
parking. The building will be three-story above the ground surface without any
basement. RGI's understanding of the project is based on a conceptual site plan prepared
by Designs Northwest Architects dated March 19, 2021.
At the time of preparing this report, detailed building plans were not available for us to
review. RGI anticipates that the proposed building will be supported on perimeter walls
with bearing loads of 3 to 6 kips per linear foot, and a series of columns with a maximum
load up to 500 kips. Slab -on -grade floor loading of 250 pounds per square foot (psf) are
expected. RGI also expects that some grading will be needed to reach the final grade.
3.0 Field Exploration and Laboratory Testing
3.1 FIELD EXPLORATION
On June 2, 2021, RGI observed the excavation of six test pits in the building and parking
area. The approximate exploration locations are shown on Figure 2.
Field logs of each exploration were prepared by the geologist who continuously observed
the drilling. These logs included visual classifications of the materials encountered during
low

RILEYGPOUP
Geotechnical Engineering Report 2 June 17, 2021
Housing Hope Edmonds, Edmonds, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-319-1
drilling as well as our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. The
test pit logs included in Appendix A represent an interpretation of the field logs and
include modifications based on laboratory observation and analysis of the samples.
3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
During the field investigation, a representative portion of each recovered sample was
sealed in containers and transported to our laboratory for further visual and laboratory
examination. Samples retrieved from the test pits were tested for moisture content and
grain size analysis to aid in soil classification and provide input for the recommendations
provided in this GER. The results and descriptions of the laboratory tests are enclosed in
Appendix A.
4.0 Site Conditions
4.1 SURFACE
The entire site is a rectangular -shaped property comprised of one tax parcel with a total
area of about 1.35 acres. The site is bound to the north and east by residential properties,
to the west by Edmonds Lutheran Church, and to the south by 236th Street Southwest.
The site is currently an undeveloped, vacant lot. The site is relatively level with less than
eight feet of elevation change across the property. The site is vegetated with grass and
several small- to medium -diameter trees.
4.2 GEOLOGY
Review of the Geologic Map of the Edmonds East and part of the Edmonds West
Quadrangles, Washington by James P. Minard (1983) indicates that the soil in the project
vicinity is mapped as Till (Map Unit Qvt) which is a compact mixture of clay, silt, sand, and
gravel deposited by glacial ice. These descriptions are generally similar to the findings in
our field explorations.
4.3 SOILS
The site is underlain by up to 3.5 feet of loose to medium dense fill comprised of silty
sand with some gravel over native deposits of loose to medium dense silty sand with
some gravel over dense silty sand with varying amounts of gravel glacial till.
More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered are presented in
the test pit logs included in Appendix A. Sieve analyses were performed on three selected
soil samples. The grain -size distribution curves are included in Appendix A.

4.4 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not encountered during our field exploration to a maximum depth of
8.5 feet bgs. It should be recognized that fluctuations of the groundwater table will occur
due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other factors not evident
at the time the explorations were performed. In addition, perched water can develop
within seams and layers contained in fill soils or higher permeability soils overlying less
permeable soils following periods of heavy or prolonged precipitation.
4.5 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the International Building Code (IBC), RGI recommends the follow seismic
parameters for design.

1. Note: In general accordance with Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-10. The Site Class is based on the average characteristics of the upper 100
feet of the subsurface profile.
2. Note: The 2015 IBC and ASCE 7-16 require a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for seismic site
classification. The current scope of our services does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. Test pit explorations
extended to a maximum depth of 8.5 feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that similar soil continues below the
maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to deeper depths would be required to confirm the conditions
below the current depth of exploration.
3. Note: In accordance with ASCE 11.4.8, a ground motion hazard analysis is not required for the following cases:
• Structures on Site Class E sites with Ss greater than or equal to 1.0, provided the site coefficient Fa is taken as equal to that
of Site Class C.
• Structures on Site Class D sites with S, greater than or equal to 0.2, provided that the value of the seismic response
coefficient Cs is determined by Eq. 12.8-2 for values of T <_ 1.5Ts and taken as equal to 1.5 times the value computed in
accordance with either Eq. 12.8-3 for TL >_ T > 1.5Ts or Eq. 12.8-4 for T > TL.
• Structures on Site Class E sites with S� greater than or equal to 0.2, provided that T is less than or equal to Ts and the
equivalent static force procedure is used for design.
The above exceptions do not apply to seismically isolated structures, structures with damping systems or structures designed using the
response history procedures of Chapter 16.
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength
due to an increase in water pressure induced by vibrations from a seismic event.
low

RILEYGRUUP
Geotechnical Engineering Report 4 June 17, 2021
Housing Hope Edmonds, Edmonds, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-319-1
Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of fine-grained sands that are
below the groundwater table. Soils of this nature derive their strength from intergranular
friction. The generated water pressure or pore pressure essentially separates the soil
grains and eliminates this intergranular friction, thus reducing or eliminating the soil's
strength.
RGI reviewed the soil conditions encountered during field exploration and assessed the
potential for liquefaction of the site's soil during an earthquake. Because the site is
underlain by glacial till, RGI considers that the possibility of liquefaction during an
earthquake is minimal
4.6 GEOLOGIC HAZARD AREAS
Regulated geologically hazardous areas include erosion, landslide, earthquake, or other
geological hazards. Based on the conditions observed on the site, the site does not
contain geologically hazardous areas.
5.0 Discussion and Recommendations
5.1 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Based on our study, the site is suitable for the proposed construction from a geotechnical
standpoint. RGI recommends that the proposed building be supported on spread footings
bearing on medium dense native soil or structural fill.
Detailed recommendations regarding the above issues and other geotechnical design
considerations are provided in the following sections. These recommendations should be
incorporated into the final design drawings and construction specifications.
5.2 EARTHWORK
RGI expects that site grading will consist of shallow cuts and fills to achieve building and
pavement grades and excavation for utilities including storm, water, sanitary sewer, and
other utilities.
5.2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Potential sources or causes of erosion and sedimentation depend on construction
methods, slope length and gradient, amount of soil exposed and/or disturbed, soil type,
construction sequencing and weather. The impacts on erosion -prone areas can be
reduced by implementing an erosion and sedimentation control plan. The plan should be
designed in accordance with applicable city and/or county standards.
RGI recommends the following erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs):

Geotechnical Engineering Report 5
Housing Hope Edmonds, Edmonds, Washington
June 17, 2021
RGI Project No. 2021-319-1
➢ Scheduling site preparation and grading for the drier summer and early fall
months and undertaking activities that expose soil during periods of little or no
rainfall
➢ Establishing a quarry spall construction entrance
➢ Installing siltation control fencing or anchored straw or coir wattles on the
downhill side of work areas
➢ Covering soil stockpiles with anchored plastic sheeting
➢ Revegetating or mulching exposed soils with a minimum 3-inch thickness of straw
if surfaces will be left undisturbed for more than one day during wet weather or
one week in dry weather
➢ Directing runoff away from exposed soils and slopes
➢ Decreasing runoff velocities with check dams, straw bales or coir wattles
➢ Confining sediment to the project site
➢ Inspecting and maintaining erosion and sediment control measures frequently
(The contractor should be aware that inspection and maintenance of erosion
control BMPs is critical toward their satisfactory performance. Repair and/or
replacement of dysfunctional erosion control elements should be anticipated.)
Permanent erosion protection should be provided by reestablishing vegetation using
hydroseeding and/or landscape planting. Until the permanent erosion protection is
established, site monitoring should be performed by qualified personnel to evaluate the
effectiveness of the erosion control measures. Provisions for modifications to the erosion
control system based on monitoring observations should be included in the erosion and
sedimentation control plan.
5.2.2 EXCAVATIONS
All temporary cut slopes associated with the site and utility excavations should be
adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. The site soils consisted of very
loose to dense silty sand with trace gravel.
Accordingly, for excavations more than 4 feet but less than 20 feet in depth, the
temporary side slopes should be laid back with a minimum slope inclination of 1-1/21-1:1 V
(Horizontal:Vertical) in existing fill or 3/41-1:1V in glacial till. If there is insufficient room to
complete the excavations in this manner, or excavations greater than 20 feet in depth are
planned, using temporary shoring to support the excavations should be considered. For
open cuts at the site, RGI recommends:
➢ No traffic, construction equipment, stockpiles or building supplies are allowed at
the top of cut slopes within a distance of at least 5 feet from the top of the cut.
➢ Exposed soil along the slope is protected from surface erosion using waterproof
tarps and/or plastic sheeting.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 6 June 17, 2021
Housing Hope Edmonds, Edmonds, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-319-1
➢ Construction activities are scheduled so that the length of time the temporary cut
is left open is minimized.
➢ Surface water is diverted away from the excavation.
➢ The general condition of slopes should be observed periodically by a geotechnical
engineer to confirm adequate stability and erosion control measures.
In all cases, however, appropriate inclinations will depend on the actual soil and
groundwater conditions encountered during earthwork. Ultimately, the site contractor
must be responsible for maintaining safe excavation slopes that comply with applicable
OSHA or WISHA guidelines.
5.2.3 STRIPPING AND SITE PREPARATION
Stripping efforts should include removal of pavements, vegetation, organic materials, and
deleterious debris from areas slated for building, pavement, and utility construction.
Based on the test pit exploration, approximately 12 inches of top soil needs to be stripped
off in the building pad area.
RGI anticipates that some areas of loose soil may be present on the site after stripping
operations are complete. Prior to placement of structural fill, RGI recommends
proofrolling building and pavement subgrades and areas to receive structural fill. These
areas should be proofrolled under the observation of RGI and compacted to a firm and
unyielding condition in order to achieve a minimum compaction level of 95 percent of the
modified proctor maximum dry density as determined by the American Society of Testing
and Materials D1557-09 Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction
Characteristics of Soil Using Modified Effort (ASTM D1557).
Proofrolling and adequate subgrade compaction can only be achieved when the soils are
within approximately ± 2 percent moisture content of the optimum moisture content.
Soils may be proofrolled with a heavy compactor, loaded double -axle dump truck, or
other heavy equipment under the observation of a RGI representative. This observer will
assess the subgrade conditions prior to filling.
Subgrade soils that become disturbed due to elevated moisture conditions should be
overexcavated to reveal firm, non -yielding, non -organic soils and backfilled with
compacted structural fill. In order to maximize utilization of site soils as structural fill, RGI
recommends that the earthwork portion of this project be completed during extended
periods of warm and dry weather, if possible. If earthwork is completed during the wet
season (typically November through May) it will be necessary to take extra precautionary
measures to protect subgrade soils. Wet season earthwork will require additional
mitigative measures beyond what would be expected during the drier summer and fall
months.

RGI Project No. 2021-319-1
5.2.4 STRUCTURAL FILL
Once site preparation is complete, cuts and fills can be made to establish desired building
grades. Prior to placing fill, RGI recommends proof -rolling as described above. RGI
recommends fill below the foundation and floor slab, behind retaining walls, and below
pavement and hardscape surfaces be placed in accordance with the following
recommendations for structural fill.
The suitability of excavated site soils and import soils for compacted structural fill use will
depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil when it is placed. As the
amount of fines (that portion passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) increases, soil becomes
increasingly sensitive to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction
becomes more difficult or impossible to achieve. Soils containing more than about 5
percent fines cannot be consistently compacted to a dense, non -yielding condition when
the moisture content is more than 2 percent above or below optimum. Optimum
moisture content is the moisture that results in the greatest compacted dry density with a
specified compactive effort.
The onsite excavated soils may be suitable for use as structural fill if the moisture can be
properly controlled at the time of compaction. If the construction occurs in winter or
extended to wet season, it may be necessary to import clean, granular soils to complete
site work that meets the grading requirements listed in Table 2.

Prior to use, a RGI representative should observe and test all materials imported to the
site for use as structural fill. Structural fill materials should be placed in uniform loose
layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted as specified in Table 3. The soil's maximum
density and optimum moisture should be determined by ASTM D1557.

Placement and compaction
of structural fill should be observed by RGI. A representative
number of in -place density
tests should be performed as the fill is being
placed to confirm
that the recommended level
of compaction is achieved.
5.2.5 CUT AND FILL SLOPES
All permanent cut and fill slopes should be graded with a finished inclination no greater
than 2H:1V. Interior slopes of detention pond should be graded to 3H:1V. Upon
completion of construction, the slope face should be trackwalked, compacted and
vegetated, or provided with other physical means to guard against erosion. All fill placed
for slope construction should meet the structural fill requirements as described in Section
5.2.4.
Final grades at the top of the slopes must promote surface drainage away from the slope
crest. Water must not be allowed to flow in an uncontrolled fashion over the slope face. If
it is necessary to direct surface runoff towards the slope, it should be controlled at the
top of the slope, piped in a closed conduit installed on the slope face, and taken to an
appropriate point of discharge beyond the toe of the slope.
5.3 FOUNDATIONS
Following site preparation and grading, the proposed building foundations may be
supported on conventional spread footings bearing on medium dense native soil.
Perimeter foundations exposed to weather should be at a minimum depth of 18 inches
below final exterior grades. Interior foundations can be constructed at any convenient
depth below the floor slab. Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within

Friction Coefficient 0.3
Passive pressure (equivalent fluid pressure) 250 pcf2
Minimum foundation dimensions Columns: 24 inches
Walls: 16 inches
1 psf = pounds per square foot
2 pcf = pounds per cubic foot
The allowable foundation bearing pressures apply to dead loads plus design live load
conditions. For short-term loads, such as wind and seismic, a 1/3 increase in this
allowable capacity may be used. At perimeter locations, RGI recommends not including
the upper 12 inches of soil in the computation of passive pressures because it can be
affected by weather or disturbed by future grading activity. The passive pressure value
assumes the foundation will be constructed neat against competent soil or backfilled with
structural fill as described in Section 5.2.4. The recommended base friction and passive
resistance value includes a safety factor of about 1.5.
With spread -footing foundations designed in accordance with the recommendations in
this section, maximum total and differential post -construction settlements of 1 inch and
1/2 inch, respectively, should be expected.
5.4 RETAINING WALL
If retaining walls are needed for a detention vault or site retaining walls, RGI recommends
cast -in -place concrete walls be used. The retaining wall must be supported on firm native
soil or structural fill. The magnitude of earth pressure development on retaining walls will
partly depend on the quality of the wall backfill. RGI recommends placing and compacting
wall backfill as structural fill. Wall drainage will be needed behind the wall face. A typical
retaining wall drainage detail is shown on Figure 3. The retaining wall foundation
subgrade should be supported on competent native soil.
With wall backfill placed and compacted as recommended, and drainage properly
installed, RGI recommends using the values in the following table for design.

For seismic design, an additional uniform load of 7 times the wall height (H) for
unrestrained walls and 14H for restrained walls should be applied to the wall surface.
Friction at the base of foundations and passive earth pressure will provide resistance to
these lateral loads. Values for these parameters are provided in the Section 5.3.
5.5 SLAB -ON -GRADE CONSTRUCTION
Once site preparation has been completed as described in Section 5.2, suitable support
for slab -on -grade construction should be provided. The native soil subgrade should be
medium dense native soil. Immediately below the floor slab, RGI recommends placing a 4-
inch-thick capillary break layer of clean, free -draining pea gravel, washed rock, or crushed
rock that has less than 5 percent passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve. This material will reduce
the potential for upward capillary movement of water through the underlying soil and
subsequent wetting of the floor slab.
For the anticipated floor slab loading, we estimate post -construction floor settlements of
%- to %-inch. For thickness design of the slab subjected to point loading from storage
racks, RGI recommends using a subgrade modulus (Ks) of 150 pounds per square inch per
inch of deflection.
5.6 DRAINAGE
5.6.1 SURFACE
Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the building
area. Water must not be allowed to pond or collect adjacent to foundations or within the
immediate building area. For non -pavement locations, RGI recommends providing a
minimum drainage gradient of 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the
building perimeter. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1 percent should be
provided unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water
adjacent to the structure.

5.6.2 SUBSURFACE
RGI recommends installing perimeter foundation drains, details shown on Figure 3. The
foundation drains and roof downspouts should be tightlined separately to an approved
discharge facility. Subsurface drains must be laid with a gradient sufficient to promote
positive flow to a controlled point of approved discharge. Considering the native soil is
fairly permeable, the footing drain may be eliminated in area covered by sidewalk or
pavement.
5.6.3 INFILTRATION
A small scale Pilot Infiltration Test (PIT) was conducted to assess any infiltration potential
in the native soils. The PIT test was conducted at a depth of approximately 3.5 feet below
grade in test pit TP-1 which is in the northeastern portion of the site. Water was
introduced into the pit until approximately twelve inches of water was standing in the
bottom of the pit. The water supply was shut off and the water level was observed for
approximately one hour. The water level was observed to be the same after one hours
and the test was terminated. Based on the results of the PIT test, the native soil was
determined to have no infiltration potential.
5.7 UTILITIES
Utility pipes should be bedded and backfilled in accordance with American Public Works
Association (APWA) specifications. For site utilities located within the right-of-ways,
bedding and backfill should be completed in accordance with City of Edmonds
specifications. At a minimum, trench backfill should be placed and compacted as
structural fill, as described in Section 5.2.4. Where utilities occur below unimproved
areas, the degree of compaction can be reduced to a minimum of 90 percent of the soil's
maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557. The native soils may be used as backfill
provided they can be adequately moisture conditioned and compacted in dry weather
condition. Imported structural fill may be required for trench backfill in winter.
5.8 PAVEMENTS
Pavement subgrades should be prepared as described in Section 5.2 of this GER and as
discussed below. Regardless of the relative compaction achieved, the subgrade must be
firm and relatively unyielding before paving. This condition should be verified by
proofrolling with heavy construction equipment or hand probe by inspector.
With the pavement subgrade prepared as described above, RGI recommends the
following pavement sections for parking and drive areas paved with flexible asphalt
concrete surfacing.
➢ For general parking areas: 3 inches of HMA over 6 inches of CRB over firm native
soil
Geotechnical Engineering Report 12 June 17, 2021
Housing Hope Edmonds, Edmonds, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-319-1
The asphalt paving materials used should conform to the Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) specifications for Hot Mix Asphalt Class 1/2 inch and CRB
surfacing.
Long-term pavement performance will depend on surface drainage. A poorly -drained
pavement section will be subject to premature failure as a result of surface water
infiltrating into the subgrade soils and reducing their supporting capability.
For optimum pavement performance, surface drainage gradients of no less than two
percent are recommended. Also, some degree of longitudinal and transverse cracking of
the pavement surface should be expected over time. Regular maintenance should be
planned to seal cracks when they occur.
6.0 Additional Services
RGI is available to provide further geotechnical consultation throughout the design phase
of the project. RGI should review the final design and specifications in order to verify that
earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and
incorporated into project design and construction.
RGI is also available to provide geotechnical engineering and construction monitoring
services during construction. The integrity of the earthwork and construction depends on
proper site preparation and procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may arise in
the field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent.
Construction monitoring services are not part of this scope of work. If these services are
desired, please let us know and we will prepare a proposal.
7.0 Limitations
This GER is the property of RGI, Housing Hope, and their designated agents. Within the
limits of the scope and budget, this GER was prepared in accordance with generally
accepted geotechnical engineering practices in the area at the time this report was
issued. This GER is intended for specific application to the proposed Housing Hope
Edmonds project at 82XX 236th Street Southwest in Edmonds, Washington, and for the
exclusive use of Housing Hope and its authorized representatives. No other warranty,
expressed or implied, is made. Site safety, excavation support, and dewatering
requirements are the responsibility of others.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication
any environmental or biological (for example, mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the
site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials, or conditions. If the
owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination or pollution, we can
provide a proposal for these services.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
On June 2, 2021, RGI explored the subsurface soil conditions at the site by observing the
excavation of six test pits to a maximum depth of 8.5 feet below existing grade. The test
pit locations are shown on Figure 2. The test pit locations were approximately determined
by measurements from existing property lines and paved roads.
A geologist from our office conducted the field exploration and classified the soil
conditions encountered, maintained a log of each exploration, obtained representative
soil samples, and observed pertinent site features. All soil samples were visually classified
in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Representative soil samples obtained from the explorations were placed in closed
containers and taken to our laboratory for further examination and testing. As a part of
the laboratory testing program, the soil samples were classified in our in house laboratory
based on visual observation, texture, and the limited laboratory testing described below.
Moisture Content Determinations
Moisture content determinations were performed in accordance with the American
Society of Testing and Materials D2216-10 Standard Test Methods for Laboratory
Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass (ASTM D2216) on
representative samples obtained from the exploration in order to aid in identification and
correlation of soil types. The moisture content of typical sample was measured and is
reported on the test pit logs.
Grain Size Analysis
A grain size analysis indicates the range in diameter of soil particles included in a
particular sample. Grain size analyses for the greater than 75 micrometer portion of the
samples were performed in accordance with American Society of Testing and Materials
D422 Standard Test Method for Particle -Size Analysis of Soils (ASTM D422) on three of the
samples, the results of which are attached in Appendix A.
