Name Duwamish Tribe Address:4705 West Marginal Way SW CityState:Seattle, WA Email preservationdept@duwamishtribe.org Phone 2064311582 Party of Record Only Comments Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the project LUA23-000300, ECF located at 1404 SW Grady Way. Based on the information provided and our understanding of the project and its APE, the Duwamish Tribe recommends an archaeological review performed for this project. This is in an area the Duwamish Tribe considers culturally significant and has a high probability to have unknown archaeological deposits. The project location is within about a half mile of one of our ancestral village sites and as well as a previous survey. The DAHP WISAARD predictive model indicates that a survey is highly advised with a very high risk for encountering cultural resources. The borelogs from the PanGEO geotechnical report indicates alluvium with organic layers and shell fragments below fill. Alluvium and organic layers are sediments that have potential for precontact cultural materials. We request that if any archaeological work or monitoring is performed, we would like notification. Cultural and archaeological resources are non-renewable and are best discovered prior to ground disturbance. The Tribe would also like the opportunity to be present if or when an archaeologist is on site in the event that an artifact or cultural resource is encountered. In addition, the Tribe strongly recommends that only native vegetation be used for any proposed landscaping and that wetland and stream buffers are maintained to enhance native avian life and native pollinators as well as to mitigate seasonal urban flooding.
