As ahown on the enclosed location/geologic map cross section of <br /> the slope area. the apparent contact between the Double Bluff and <br /> Whidbey Formations apparently dips toward the west at approximately <br /> 5°-10°. The sand and eand/silt interbeds within the Wnidbey <br /> Formation also apparently dip at aimilar angles, indicating <br /> some tectonic activity. <br /> Overlying the Whidbey Formation is a variably thick c�equence of <br /> Vashon Age glacial deposits� including glacial till and associated <br /> glacial outwash . These materials are generally thin Nithin the <br /> im estigated areas as indicated by the borings. In fact, the <br /> Vashon age materials were generally not encountered along the <br /> slope area except for two general areas (approximate STA 25+00 <br /> and 38+00), where the asaociated glacial outwash materials were � <br /> encountered. i <br /> Alluvial soils� consisting of recently deposited silts, sands ' <br /> and gravels, artificial fill and talus/slide debris. occur <br /> eporatically throughout the site . The upslope area was Pound to <br /> consist of some local Yilling,particnlarly within the depression <br /> area noted on the location map. Considerable talue and slide <br /> debris occure along the toe-of-slope, derived from the upslope. <br /> Publiahed informationt regarding the geology of the subject etudy i <br /> area generally supports our interpretation of the geologic condi- <br /> tions which prevail in the area. <br /> AIR.,PEffiT03 _ I <br /> Stereoscopic pairs of air photos taken in 194y, 196� and 1981 I <br /> wer.e studied. Generally. we found that development within the <br /> area had begun and was about 60J developed by 194�. By 1967, <br /> approximately 80� oS the area had been developed and by 1981, <br /> 95�b of the area had been developed into single Samily housing. <br /> Some of the residences present during the early photcs have been <br /> replaced. remodeled or added onto by the latest photos. � <br /> � Mackey S�ith, Preliminarv surficial �eologic map of <br /> the Mukilteo & Everett quadran�les, i <br /> Snohomiah Co. , Wash.
