RE: Woodbridge Business Park – Visibility Study
Buildings 1, 2, 3, and WTC
Federal Way, WA
To whom it may concern,
The visibility study is a visibility assessment of the proposed Business Park buildings 1, 2, 3, and WTC from adjacent roads
and the Weyerhaeuser Headquarters building based on several data points. Assessment is based on overlays of (4) key
pieces of information:
• 3D model that includes existing grades
• Proposed building floor slabs located in plan and elevation height based on the Civil Engineering drawings
• Building elevations based on Architectural drawings
• Tree heights based on lidar tree mapping.
In combining all this information, we were able to determine what extents of the buildings would be visible from adjacent
property, taking into account anticipated tree buffer enhancement.
The view from the Weyerhauser Headquarters building is taken from the 5th level on the far West end of the building. This
is the vantage point that provides the most direct unobstructed view toward the Business Park property. As can be seen in
the visibility study, the Business Park buildings will be hidden by the forested buffer.
If there are any questions or you would like to discuss, please call myself at (206) 408.8646.
