Based on the information provided and our understanding of the project and its APE, we recommend an archeological review performed for this project. This site is very close to the east village of Sqʷuʔalqʷuʔ which is an area the Duwamish Tribe considers highly culturally significant. Due to proximity to this village and trails leading to agricultural and fish drying sites, we belive it has a high-moderate probability to have unknown archaeological deposits. We realize that though subdivisions do not cause ground disturbance, in almost all cases this process leads to development projects that will, and this site has a work plan to be highly developed. If any archaeological work is performed, we request notification. An IDP should not be used in lieu of an archeological investigation. Cultural and archaeological resources are non-renewable and are best discovered prior to ground disturbance. Thank You, DUWAMISH TRIBE 4705 W.
