arch 7A 1994 5 943-]525 <br />Preliminary Su�cial Geologi': Map of the Mukilteo and Everett Quadrangles, <br />Snohomish County, Washington, by Mackey Smith, dated 1976. <br />United States Geological Survey, Mukilteo, Washingiun Quadrangle, 7.5 minute <br />topographic map, dateJ 1953, photorevised 1968 and 1973. <br />The topogrephic map indicated that the site is situated on a relatively level upland plateau <br />bounded on the west and north by steep bluffs leading down to Puge: Sound, and the east <br />by the Snohomish River Valley. The surface topography within one mile of the site ranges <br />from about 490 to 580 feet. No surface drainage features were shown within a one mile <br />radius of the site. A wetland is shown abo•�t one mile west of the site at thc south end of the <br />airpoet runway. Lake Stickney is located about 1.5 miles to the south of lhe site. Sutface <br />water drainage in the vicinity of the subject property appears to be toward Lake Stickney. <br />Silver Lake is localed about 2 miles to the east, and Laka Serene about 2 miles to the <br />southwest of the site. <br />The USGS geology map indicates that the entire project site is underlain by deposits mapped <br />as Vashon Till. 'fhe Vashon Till is a lodgemen4 till deposited beneath or marginal to the <br />advancing glacier. It is charecterized by a poorly sorteci, non-stratified mixture of sand, <br />gravel, silt and clay. It is dense to very dense and will stand in near vertical cliEfs. The till <br />typically exhibils a yellow brown, weathered zone overlying a light gray, unweathered zone. <br />�Nater percolatea through the weatherecl zone and typically flows along the contact with the <br />less permeable unweathered till. Seepage is commonly associated with the <br />weathered/unweathered contact or in sandy lenses wilhin the till. <br />3.2.3 TiUe Hietory Report Review <br />We reviewed a aummary of a title history report prepared by Stewart Title Company of <br />Snohomish County, Washington. A copy of that report is included in Appendiu C. The <br />report documents included property lranster and ownership information dating from 1874 to <br />1989. The aubject properly was owned by Pope & Talbot, a California timber company in <br />1874, when it was sold to private individuals as Lot 34 �nd 35.
