Subject: The Qestar Center -15425 53rd Ave. S, Tukwila, WA- Rockery Replacement Dear Denni: Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns regarding vegetation upgrades which may be mandated by the City of Tukwila in association with the above 'referenced project. As we discussed over the phone today, I do not feel that extensive landscaping is a fair requirement for this project for the following reasons: 1. The new retaining wall will not be within view of the street because it will be located approximately 270 feet away from, and approximately twelve feet above the road which parallels the front of the building. 2. Existing trees and other vegetation, which will not be disturbed by this project, hide the wall from view on the other two sides. 3. The existing building on the lot is located approximately six feet from the wall and extends along all but a few feet of the wall, which hides virtually the entire wall from view. 4. The existing building should remain on the lot well into the foreseeable future. If the lot is redeveloped, it seems fair that a more extensive landscaping project be mandated at that time. 5. The building has no windows which face the direction of the wall so the existing tenants in the building have little opportunity to see it. This is not to say that the building's owners are unwilling to improve the appearance of those sections of the wall which are visible from the front of the building. I would suggest that ivy or other suitable, low maintenance vegetation be planted along the top of the wall at each end of the existing building. Over the near future, this vegetation will grow and cover these portions of the wall with greenery and flowers.

Dear Dennis: As requested, I have reviewed the geotechnical aspects of the modified criblock retaining wall design summarized on the referenced Design Edge Services memo (reference 3) for the subject project. These modifications are based on our comments (reference 2) derived from a review of the original memo, reference 1. My comments and conclusions are presented below. It is clear from this modified series of wall design criteria that the potential surface vehicle load surcharge has been accommodated into the original design. I had already assumed that the slope surcharge was included in the original design. The data on the Preliminary Design Table indicates that the factors of safety are all in excess of 1.93. Further, according to this table, with three minor exceptions, the toe and heel pressures are all within the allowable soil bearing pressure of the supporting site soil and, as such, are acceptable. 5418 159th Place NE • Redmond, WA 98052 • (206) 883 -6889 (206) 953 -1173 • FAX 881 -3592 • • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Center - Criblock Wall November 4, 1991 Page 2 The minor exceptions occur where the wall height is fifteen (15) feet, or more. Here, the toe pressures presented on the table are 3,427 and 3052 psf. In addition, at the highest wall section, there is apparently a heel pressure of 3068 psf. As indicated in reference 2, considering that the real in -situ bearing pressure provided by the site soil is significantly greater than three thousand (3,000) psf, we do not see this as detrimental to the wall design or its long term integrity. However, we do recommend that the wall subgrade in the area of the tallest section be examined when exposed to verify that adequate bearing is available. If the soil appears to be soft or unstable, we will provide geotechnical recommendations for remedial treatment at that time. We appreciate the opportunity to be of continued services on this project and for the opportunity to review the modified criblock wall design criteria for this project.

Design Edge Services, Inc., memo regarding criblock retaining wall design criteria, dated 8/21/91. Dear Dennis: As requested, I have reviewed the geotechnical aspects of the criblock retaining wall design summarized on the referenced Design Edge Services memo for the subject project. My comments and conclusions are presented below. From the information presented on the Preliminary Criblock Retaining Wall Design Criteria sheet the values used appear to be generally conservative and in general accord with our earlier oral recommendations. The equivalent fluid pressure is omitted but, given the phi angle of 30°, this should be on the order of forty (40) pcf. Since there is a short slope above the top of the wall, and considering that there is a paved parking lot atop the slope, we also suggest that you include a surcharge loading to accommodate these conditions. In our professional opinion, a surcharge of fifty (50) psf acting over the full wall height should be adequate. The data on the Preliminary Design Tib1e indicates that the factors of safety are all in excess of 1.99. Further, according to this table, with one minor exception the toe and heel pressures are all within the allowable soil bearing pressure of the supporting site soil and, as such, are acceptable. The minor exception is for a toe pressure of 3,006 psf. Considering that the real bearing pressure in the site soil is significantly greater than three thousand (3,000) psf, we do not see this as detrimental to the wall design or its long term integrity. 5418 159th Place NE • Redmond, WA 98052 • (206) 883 -6889 • (206) 953 -1173 • FAX 881 -3592 • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Center - Crbblock Wall October 23, 1991 Page 2 The sketch provided on the Design Criteria sheet indicates that the drainage system is to be "by others ".

Dear Mr. Rich: As requested we have re- visited the subject site to evaluate the potential need for immediate rockery replacement. We visually examined the rockery along the west side of the site specifically noting the degree of visible damage or deterioration. Our comments and conclusions are presented below. From our visual examination of this rockery it is clear that the structure is currently subject to ongoing distortion from tree growth through the rockery face. This has resulted in lateral displacement of several rocks. What is unclear is the degree of destabilization that has occurred. In our professional opinion, this displacement is sufficient to be of concern and poses a potential threat to the building. Should this part of the rockery fail, it will almost certainly damage the building wall. We also noted some displacement of several rocks at the base of the highest part of the rockery in the southwest corner of the site. Apparently, these rocks have been moved laterally since construction. This movement has left a void behind the rocks. Because of the height of the wall, we estimate about fifteen (15) feet high, we believe this too is a dangerous situation that, should the wall fail, could also lead to building damage. 5418 159th Place NE • Redmond, WA 98052 • (206) 883 -6889 • (206) 953 -1173 • FAX 881 -3592 • • • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center Rockery April 12, 1991 Page 2 In addition, we noted that several individual rocks within the rockery structure are in the process of deteriorating. In time, these rocks will decay into a soil -like material and will lost their ability to support load. In this event, which may take several years, portions of the rockery may well collapse. In summary, there is in our opinion sufficient reason to be concerned about the stability and structural integrity of this rockery in the immediate future. While it is possible that, in spite of the visible distortion and deterioration, this rockery may last for several years in its present condition, it is equally likely that it will not. If it were to collapse or suffer localized failures there is a strong likelihood that as a result there will be damage to the building. It is also possible that such failure might also injure a passer by. We trust that this clarifies the situation for you regarding the need for rockery reconstruction.

Blomquist Rockery Construction. Guidelines Questar Commerce Center Building Number 2 Tukwila, Washington Plot Plan and Legal Description for Questar Commerce Center, Building No. 2 undated, provided by NDT Engineering Corp. Seattle, Washington. Dear Ms. Blomquist: Introduction As requested, this letter provides our recommendations and construction guidelines for a replacement rockery along the west side of the subject site in Tukwila, Washington. We understand that you are concerned because the existing rockery is suffering some minor distress due to tree growth, and also that there is little space currently available between the existing building and the rockery. We also understand that there are several potential rockery construction options being considered regarding the space between the rockery and the building. We are proceeding with our services on the basis of your written of July 17, 1990 authorization. Project Description From our discussions, we understand you wish to remove an existing rockery which was constructed along the west side of the subject site about four to five feet away from the existing building's wall. This rockery is currently suffering some minor distress because of recent • • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Page 2 tree growth which is occurring through and within the rockery structure. Once the existing rockery has been removed, you wish to replace it with another. You are also considering several options that will reduce the somewhat claustrophobic feeling that exists between the existing rockery and building and, if possible, you wish to increase the space between the rockery and building. You would like to create sufficient space to allow for truck loading /unloading. The height of the existing rockery varies between approximately twelve (12) feet at the south end to seven feet at the north end. There is an approximately 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) slope above the rockery which extends to the property line. The rockery is approximately one hundred and twenty (120) feet long in a south to north direction. This structure also connects to another rockery extending onto adjacent property to the south. Development Options As indicated above, you are considering three rockery options for this space. According to the referenced Plot Plan, there is about twenty - three (23) feet between the building and the property line in which to reconstruct the rockery or build a new system. The potential options currently under consideration are: 1. Remove and replace the existing rockery with a similar rockery construction in the same location, 2. Remove and replace the existing rockery with a two stage rockery to create a more open area next to the building, or 3. Remove the existing rockery, excavate back toward the property line and build a new single stage rockery to create a load /unload area. On the basis of the space available (twenty -three [23] feet) and the approximate height of the ultimate excavation (about fourteen [14] to nineteen [19] feet) there does appear to be sufficient space to either reconstruct the existing rockery or to overexcavate and construct a new single stage rockery. Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Page 3 Staged rockery construction requires that the lower section be at least half the total rockery height and that there be a setback between the rear of the lower stage and the face of the upper stage equal to, or greater than, the height of the lower stage. Because the overall rockery height will increase by about seven feet, even if the rockery is begun in the same location as the existing rockery, there is insufficient space available to construct a two stage rockery. In the case of the third option, there will need to be an over - excavation and removal of about ten (10) to fourteen (14) feet of material to provide the requisite load /unload space and space for rockery construction. By setting this rockery back towards the property line, the height will be increased by up to approximately five feet. This will result in rockery construction on the order of between about seventeen (17) and twelve (12) feet in height at the south and north ends, respectively. This rockery too will be approximately one hundred and twenty (120) feet long. In each case, the new construction must be keyed into an existing rockery at the south end of the site. This rockery is on the order of fourteen (14) feet high. The City of Tukwila has requested that you provide a letter from a registered geotechnicai engineer substantiating the means of construction and the rockery's post construction integrity. Rockery Construction General You should be aware that a rockery is not considered a retaining structure in the way one would consider a reinforced concrete retaining wall. The primary function of a rockery is to protect the soil face in front of which it is constructed against the elements and to help reduce the potential for erosion. A rockery will not restrain hydrostatic pressures from excessive drainage or water flow behind the rocks. Rockery construction is a craft that is highly dependant on the contractor's experience, capabilities and equipment. Because of this, and considering each rock used has a different shape and "fit" to its neighbor, it is virtually impossible to "design" a rockery. However, providing your contractor adheres to the recommendations contained in this letter and the Associated Rockery Contractors (ARC) Standard Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 .Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Page 4 . Rockery Construction Guidelines, by virtue of the mass of the rock used and its mechanically interlocking nature, some undetermined degree of gravity retention is achieved. Hence, the larger the rock used the greater the in -place mass and therefore the greater degree of retention that will exist. In our experience, it has been proven that sound construction practice typically results in the production of a competent and long lasting rockery. To help achieve this goal, we recommend the ARC Standard Rockery Construction Guidelines be closely adhered to during construction. A copy of these guidelines is attached for your information and use. If there should be a conflict between the recommendations in the guideline and this letter, this letter will govern. We have also provided a pictorial representation of the rockery's approximate location as Sheet 1 of 3. A sectional view of the higher section of the replacement rockery is provided on Sheet 2 of 3, and the set -back rockery on Sheet 3 of 3. These sketches are attached for your, and your contractor's, information and use. Keyway Once the appropriate excavation has been completed into the soil face to be protected, your contractor must provide an adequate keyway for the rockery. The keyway should extend at least twelve (12) inches down into the underlying competent native soil. It should be wide enough to place the basal rock and the filter drain rock layer, typically a distance of about five to six feet. The surface should slope very gently back to the rear of the keyway where a perforated or slotted drain line should be installed. The keyway subgrade should be proofrolled to tighten up the exposed surface. A walk- behind, twin vibrating drum steel wheel roller is adequate for this purpose. Such a roller can be found at most local rental stores. Any soft or potentially unstable areas should either be overexcavated and replaced with a compacted structural fill (described later in this letter) or, the area should be overlain with a layer of about ten (10) to twelve (12) inches, or more, of quarry spalls (two to four inch size). The spalls should then be tamped firmly into the subgrade to tighten it sufficiently to support the rockery load. • • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Basal Rocks Page 5 Once the keyway has been prepared, the basal row of rock should be firmly tamped into place. Because of the nature of this site, and given the height of the rockery, we recommend that the basal row of rock consist of six -man size rocks only. As each rock is placed onto the keyway subgrade it should be tamped with the rock placement crane to firmly seat it into the underlying subgrade soil. Each rock should be placed in a manner that will achieve the best rock -to -rock fit and leave as little interstitial void space as possible. Rockery Construction Once the basal row of rock has been placed under either option, the construction of the rockery wall can continue. We recommend that for option 1 six -man size rock be used in the lower one third of the rockery, we estimate at least one to two rows from the keyway subgrade. Above this point, there should be one row of five man rock then the remainder should be of no less than four man -sized rock. For option 3, we recommend approximately the lower one half be of six - man sized rocks, an estimated three rows of rock. Above this should be one row of five -man rock with the remainder of four -man rock. All rockery rock should be placed so that the larger rocks are towards the base of the rockery and the smaller rocks towards the top. Wherever possible, the rocks should be placed with the longest rock dimension set back towards the soil face being protected. This will result in less face area of rock being presented, but a more structurally competent wall. It is also important that the rocks be placed in such a manner as to achieve the closest possible rock -to- rock contact both vertically and horizontally, and to leave as little void space as possible. Face Batter We recommend that the inclination, or batter, of the face of the rockery be set at 1:5 (horizontal:vertical). This should provide a clean, stable, and structurally sound rockery face. By generating a slightly flatter face it should also be possible to reduce the "chasmlike" effect next to the building and make the space lighter. • • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Filter Rock Layer Page 6 As the rockery is raised, a layer of crushed filter rock must be placed between the rear face of the rocks and the soil face being protected. This rock should be about two to four inch sized crushed rock and should be soil free. As it is placed behind the rock, it should be tamped with the crane bucket to achieve as tight a fit as possible. The filter layer is raised contiguously with the rockery. The surface of the filter layer should be covered with an impermeable layer, such as visqueen, filter fabric or building paper. We recommend you backfill over this with a compacted impermeable soil fill in which a new vegetative cover can be grown. This will prevent surface water from seeping through into the rockery's filter layer. For this rockery we recommend that the filter rock layer be no less than eighteen (18) inches thick. Soil Slopes While it is preferable to have an essentially level soil surface above a rockery, in this case there will be a slope between the top -of- rockery and the property line. We, therefore, recommend that any sloping soil surface above a rockery be kept to a gradient of 2H:1V, or flatter. Achievement of this slope gradient will probably govern the actual maximum height of the rockery. A surface with this slope can be easily constructed or, in the case or an existing native slope, can be easily recompacted to provide a competent surface. We also recommend that any soil surface above a rockery be seeded with a rapid growth, deep rooted vegetative mat as quickly after construction is completed as possible. This will tend to help reduce the potential for surface erosion, the rate of surface water infiltration and raindrop impact. You may also wish to use a pegged in -place jute matting, or other geotechnical fabric, to help maintain the seed and mulch in -place until the root mat has had an opportunity to germinate and take hold. Precautionary Measures As indicated above, a rockery is not a retaining wall. It is more susceptible to damage from exterior causes than, for example, one would expect a reinforced concrete wail to be. Therefore, to achieve a stable and long lasting rockery structure we recommend that certain Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Page 7 practices be totally avoided once the rockery is complete. Wherever possible, excavation work should be performed before the rockery reconstruction gets underway. We recommend that no excavation be performed within five feet of the top of any rockery. This will help prevent the potential for collapse back into the excavation area of the upper rockery rocks should soil support be removed. More importantly, no excavation work should be conducted between the toe of the rockery and the existing building, nor should any excavation penetrate into an area defined by a 1H:1V line extended down from the front edge of the basal rock of the rockery. This will help prevent the possibility of undermining any rock and thus eliminating some portion of the rockery's foundation support. Drainage As indicated earlier, a perforated or slotted drain line is placed at the back edge of the keyway to collect any keyway subgrade seepage or surface water flow that filters down through the filter rock layer. The pipe should have a minimum diameter of four inches, be bedded on a free - draining material (such as coarse sand or pea - gravel) with the perforations or slots facing down. It should be tightiined to a positive and permanent discharge, such as a nearby storm drain. Use of Fabric There are wide variations of opinion regarding the use of fabric in rockery construction to "prevent" fines being flushed from the protected soil face out through the rock filter layer. In our opinion, and after detailed discussions with several fabric manufacturers representatives, fabric should not be used in rockery 'construction of this nature. For a geotechnical drainage fabric to function as designed. the manufacturer recommends that the interface between the soil face, fabric and backfill (the rockery filter rock in this case) should he such that.the fabric is very tightly sandwiched between the soil and backfill. This sandwiching effect keeps the filter cloth flat and in close contact with the surrounding soil which is what prevents soil particles from moving. • • Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 .Page 8 Unfortunately, it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve this form of contact in rockery construction. As a result, it is often possible for soil particles to be flushed from the face of the soil into the fabric. Over time, and this is often a short period, large portions of the fabric become clogged and this, coupled with subsurface seepage, can lead to buildup of hydrostatic pressure behind the rockery. Naturally, the rockery cannot withstand such pressures, and it moves and /or fails. In our opinion, this scenario can generally be avoided if the filter rock material is placed carefully so that the soil face is suitably protected. Construction Monitoring Because rockery construction is a craft, and one that it is so heavily dependant on the contractors staff and equipment, it is imperative that the construction process be monitored periodically throughout. By so doing, it is possible for us to verify that the recommendations contained in this letter and the ARC Standard Guidelines are being followed, that the rock is suitable, and the construction procedures appropriate. It also provides an opportunity to make modifications to the recommendations in the field should unexpected conditions be encountered. This avoids hindering the schedule and helps keep the project within budget. Your contractor has indicated that he expects the rockery construction to take approximately seven to ten working days to complete. Based on this schedule, we estimate that a visit of relatively short duration should be made every other day. This should result in about three to four visits to the site. At each visit a Rockery Examination Record sheet will be completed summarizing the progress and the quality and form of construction. Following completion of the rockery, a written summary report will be provided to you and the 'City of Tukwila. Copies of the Rockery Examination Records will be attached for your information. Closure The. recommendations contained in this letter pertain to the subject rockery and are for the exclusive use of Capital Consultants and their other consultants only. The recommendations have been made in a manner - consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily Geotechnical Consultation Services 90 -1081 Questar Commerce Center - Building 2 Rockery July 24, 1990 Page 9 exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. No other warranty is expressed or implied. Providing the recommendations contained in this letter and the ARC Standard Guidelines are closely followed during construction, and the construction process is monitored, the completed rockery should function as required for the lifetime of the project. We trust this information is sufficient to allow you to proceed with construction. Should you have any questions about any point in this letter or the ARC Guidelines, please call.
