The area surrounding the existing on-site development is routinely maintained. Lawn grasses and emergent species are located on the north and west sides of the pool, parking lot, walkways, and clubhouse. South of the clubhouse there is a forested canopy dominated by western red cedar (Thuja plicata), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz), and shore pine (Pinus contorta). The understory in this area includes maintained rhododendron, salal (Gaultheria shallon), English ivy (Hedera helix), and other ornamental shrubs. Lawn areas provide little to no habitat to wildlife that use the site. The area south of the clubhouse provides some opportunity for shading,foraging,and nesting;however, opportunities are limited due to routine maintenance, unnatural ornamental landscaping, and proximity to the clubhouse and 12151 Street SE. 5.1.2 Stream and Vegetated Corridor } :�- _ •R''*'.� ."may 'y3- '-.1,�ti.-•-v'�' \ - "5�., ....;#'• r ar r Figure 3—Unmaintained vegetaion along Silver Lake Creek riparian corridor.

Vegetation within the on-site portion of the stream corridor is forested with a canopy that includes red alder (Alnus rubra) and western red cedar (Populus balsamifera).
