If the proof of insurance or certificate indicating the County is an "additional insured"to a policy obtained by the Sponsor refers to an endorsement (by number or name) but does not provide the full text of that endorsement, then it shall be the obligation of the Sponsor to obtain the full text of that endorsement and forward that full text to the County.

Please attach a spreadsheet of the budget. Background,goals, and objectives Since 2002, Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI),Jefferson Land Trust,and over 40 partnering organizations have been working on a landscape scale project to protect and restore the Tarboo- Dabob Bay watershed,with over 4,000 acres conserved to date along Tarboo Creek and within the state's Dabob Bay Natural Area.The three main objectives of the conservation effort are to; 1) protect and restore the stream and wetland corridor,from the headwaters of Tarboo Creek to Dabob Bay,2) conserve uplands for sustainable forestry, 3) preserve lands within the Dabob Bay Natural Area. For this project, NWI proposes to acquire and permanently protect and restore a 6.38 acre parcel within the boundaries of the Dabob Bay Natural Area. The property adjoins state protected lands on three sides. The property is mostly forested with a small residence and drains to Discovery Creek.As match to the grant, NWI is proposing to clean up the property, including removal of the cabin, trailers, debris, decommission of roads and septic system, plant native trees,control weeds where needed. Protection and restoration of the property is an important part in the larger landscape scale conservation effort to conserve fish,wildlife, water quality and habitat connectivity of the Dabob Bay ecosystem. Proposed uses The Property will be owned and managed by NWI.The county's required deed restriction language will be added to the Statutory Warranty Deed (SWD)to permanently preserve the Property.A Navy REPI restrictive easement is also proposed that will prevent development. Selective commercial timber harvest of the existing tree plantation will be permitted to restore complex older forest structure and habitat.A walking trail system for supervised public school and other tours is planned. Critical dates and urgency NWI has secured an agreement with the landowner to purchase by June 30,2025. If NWI cannot purchase,the property will be sold for residential development. Since Conservation Futures funding cannot be secured in time for the NWI purchase,an NWI supporter has agreed to purchase the property and hold until October 2025,then sell to NWI for the same price.As a lower cost option to comply with Conservation Futures manual requirements, NWI is requesting approval from Jefferson County to allow NWI to purchase by June 30,then after the grant agreement is in place later in the summer,to re-record the SWD with the required county deed restriction included (example of re-record of deed in supplemental materials). 11. Estimate costs below, including the estimated or appraised value of the propert(ies)or property right(s)to be acquired, even if Conservation Futures Fund funds will only cover a portion of the total project cost. In the case of projects involving multiple acquisitions,please break out appraisals and estimated acquisition costs by parcel. 3 2025 CFF Program Application Estimated or Appraised Value of Propert(ies)to be Acquired: $145,000 Total Estimated Acquisition-related Cost (see Conservation Futures Manual for eligible costs): $9,500 Total Operation and Maintenance Cost: $34,500 Total Project Cost: $189,000 Budget JCCF Match to Total Request JCCF Cost Timeline Acquistion Hough Property- Fee Simple 70,000 75,000 145,000 Oct-25 Acquisition Related Costs: Appraisal 4,200 4,200 Feb-25 Closing costs 1,800 1,800 O&M Costs -Cleanup and restoration Demo and remove cabin, trailers,junk 7,500 7,500 15,000 Nov-25 Decompact/decommission roads 2,500 2,500 5,000 Nov-25 Planting and weed control -2 years 3,000 3,000 6,000 Jun-27 Stewardship and forest management plan 2,000 2,000 4,000 Jun-27 Project management and administration 3,500 4,500 8,000 Feb-25-June-27 Total Project Costs 94,500 94,500 189,000 Percent JCCF match 50% Note-Of Project mgt. costs, approx. $3,500 is estimated for acquisition related costs and $4,500 for O&M.

Donation of property or a property right can be considered as a matching resource. Donation of resources for on-going maintenance or stewardship ("in- kind"contributions) are not eligible as a match. 2. To what degree has the project sponsor identified the long-term stewardship issues for the proposed project? 2 a. Identify any factors,threats,or stressors that could negatively affect the conservation values and/or community benefits for which the property would be conserved. The property needs work to help restore it to natural conditions.The residential site needs to be removed, debris cleaned up, and the forest,which is mainly Douglas fir plantation, roads,and open areas, needs to be diversified and revegetated in some areas. 2 b. Describe the management strategies that the stewardship plan will include to address the identified factors, threats, or stressors, including any actions planned to make these negative outcomes or impacts less likely. As match to this grant, NWI is proposing to clean up the property and restore native vegetation where needed. Restoration includes removal of two trailers,cabin,shed,household debris, decommission septic system, remove utilities, decommission/decompact roads, revegetate cleared areas within native trees and shrubs, and control weeds. 5 2025 CFF Program Application As part of the Stewardship Plan, NWI will also prepare a forest management plan for the purpose of possible selective commercial and/or non-commercial thinning of the plantation forest to restore diverse older forest species and stand structure. 2 c. Describe any existing water rights,and current uses of water. Identify any conservation values currently being protected that are dependent on these sources of water. The property does not have a well or water rights.The resident currently gets water from roof runoff and the neighbor's hose. 3. To what degree has the project sponsor demonstrated effective long-term stewardship of a similar project? 3 a. Describe the sponsoring agency's previous or on-going stewardship experience. Northwest Watershed Institute is a nonprofit conservation organization that provides scientific, technical and on-the-ground support for watershed restoration and has been conducting habitat stewardship and restoration projects in the Tarboo watershed for over 20 years. NWI employs conservation biologists and professional restoration field crew and has extensive experience stewarding and managing the Tarboo Wildlife Preserve and private and state conservation properties using professional staff, experienced field crew, contractors, and volunteers. NWI forestlands are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and NWI has completed several successful ecologically-based selective timber harvests in the Tarboo forest to date. 3 b. Has the project sponsor and/or applicant been involved in other projects previously approved for Conservation Futures Fund funding? No,neither the sponsor nor applicant has been involved in a project previously approved for Conservation Futures Fund funds. X Yes,the sponsor and/or applicant for this project has been involved in a project previously approved for Conservation Futures Fund funds. Please provide details: Yes. NWI has been involved in eleven previous successful Conservation Futures funded projects in the Tarboo watershed including nine conservation easement projects proposed jointly by NWI and JLT and two fee simple projects. NWI is now completing the West Slope Forest,funded in 2024 and planned for acquisition by June of 2025. 4. To what degree is the project a part of an adopted open space, conservation, or resource preservation program or plan that was open to public review and comment, or identified in a community conservation effort that provided opportunities for public input? The proposed acquisition: X is specifically identified in an adopted open space, conservation, or resource preservation program or plan,or community conservation effort,that provided opportunities for public review and comment. Please describe below, including this project's importance to the plan.Please also reference the website of the plan if available or include the plan with this application. 6 2025 CFF Program Application `complements an adopted open space or conservation plan that was open to public review,but is not specifically identified. Please describe below, and describe how the proposed acquisition is consistent with the plan. _is a stand-alone project, or part of a project that was not open to public review. The Property is within the approved boundaries of Washington State's Dabob Bay Natural Area that was established through many public hearings and with extensive public input. The boundary was established to identify the area where DNR and partners want to prioritize acquisition of private lands from willing owners for permanent conservation as part of the Natural Area. The Dabob Bay Natural Area boundary has been expanded three times since 2008 after public hearings, scientific review, and with broad and strong public support.This parcel is included in the 2009 expansion the resulted from scientific assessment by DNR's Natural Areas biologists, several public hearings in Jefferson County with extensive opportunity for public input, review and approval by DNR's Natural Heritage Advisory Council, and approval by the State Commissioner of Public Lands. Jefferson Land Trust's Jefferson County Conservation Plan (2010),that underwent public participation and review, generally identifies the Property as within a priority habitat conservation area. https://www.saveland.org/wp- content/uploads/2016/06/2010 JLT ConservationPlan LoRes.pdf The Property is more specifically included within the priority Dabob Bay area of the Tarboo Creek/Dabob Bay Implementation Strategy, a Sub-Plan of JLT's Jefferson County Conservation Plan (2010). The Property is a top priority in Northwest Watershed Institute's Tarboo Watershed Conservation Strategy to protect and restore lands within the recently expanded boundaries of the Dabob Bay Natural Area (Objective 2) and also fits within the Forestland protection objective(objective 3) http://www.nwwatershed.org/tarboo-watershed-conservation-strategy.html The proposed properties are within a priority terrestrial conservation area identified and mapped in the Willamette Valley-Puget Trough--Georgia Basin Ecoregional Assessment(2004 Floberg et al). This priority area includes much of the Tarboo and Thorndyke watersheds. The Ecoregional plan, developed by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and The Nature Conservancy,is one of the primary conservation plans for Puget Sound and has received extensive public and scientific review. 5. To what degree does the project conserve opportunities which are otherwise lost or threatened? 5 a. The proposed acquisition site X does _does not provide a conservation or preservation opportunity which would otherwise be lost or threatened. 5 b.If applicable,please carefully describe the nature and immediacy of the threat, and any unique qualities about the site. 7 2025 CFF Program Application The proposed acquisition will provide a significant conservation opportunity that will be otherwise by lost in the next year.The small property has outsized conservation value as an inholding surrounded on three sides by state protected land and is important to protect and restore forest and wildlife connectivity. If Conservation Futures grant funding is not secured,the property will be sold for residential development in summer of 2025,with potentially long term impacts not only on the property but on surrounding protected lands, such as stormwater impacts to Discovery Creek,spread of non-native plants and weeds to surrounding native forests,and disturbance of wildlife using the Dabob Bay area. The seller is moving this summer and is giving NWI until June 30, 2025 to purchase the property under a signed purchase agreement(see Supplemental Materials).An NWI supporter has agreed to serve as an interim buyer to purchase the property(under NWI's purchase agreement assigned to them) and hold the property until October 2025 if needed to allow time for grant funding to be secured to purchase the property. NWI is also requesting county approval for a less expensive option to comply with the Conservation Futures manual that allows NWI to purchase the property in June, then after the grant agreement is in place NWI is reimbursed through re-recording the Statutory Warrantee Deed with the addition of the required county deed restriction language, as well as recording the Navy Restrictive Easement. 6. Are the conservation values of the project commensurate with or greater than the amount of CFF funds requested, and will both the timeframes for meeting project objectives and associated metrics demonstrate achievement of the conservation objectives? 6 a. Summarize the project's conservation values and how the CFF funds requested support these values. The project's conservation values are extremely high relative to CF funds requested because: 1)the property is a key inholding surrounded on three sides by protected lands and thus its fate has an outsized influence on conservation of the larger landscape,and 2) match is provided for a portion of the acquisition costs and about half of the cleanup and restoration costs. Conservation objectives of acquiring the property will be obtained by October of 2025. Cleanup and restoration will be completed within two years, by June 2027,to allow two planting seasons and weed control. 6 b. Summarize how the project's conservation values are related to the project's specific objectives. The project's conservation values of providing wildlife habitat and connecting corridor to adjoining protected lands,water quality protection for downstream Discovery Creek,cultural resources for local Tribes,outdoor education,forest carbon storage,and protecting biodiversity are well served by the project objectives which are to purchase the property for permanent conservation and restoration of older forest habitat. 7. To what degree does the project preserve habitat for flora and fauna other than habitat for anadromous fish species? 8 2025 CFF Program Application 7 a. X provides habitat for State of Washington Priority Habitat specific to the project and/or State or Federal (NOAA and USFWS) Candidate, Endangered,Threatened or Sensitive species (provide list and references). 7 b. X provides habitat for native flora and fauna. Identify the documented habitat(s)and native flora or fauna species that will be protected by the project. 7 c. X contributes to a wildlife corridor or migration route identified by Washington Connectivity Working Group or other peer-reviewed source. If affirmative in any of the above,please describe and list the Priority Habitat(s) and Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive species below, and cite or provide documentation of species'use.' Priority and Listed Species (observed on-site or within 1 mile) Western toad (near) State Candidate and Federal Species of Concern Pileated woodpecker(on site) State Candidate Fisher(near) State Endangered Documented observations by Peter Bahls and Keith Lazelle, NWI Listed Species benefited downstream in Discovery Creek(WDFW and NWI data): Puget Sound steelhead (likely) State Candidate and Federal Threatened Hood Canal coho salmon Federal Species of Concern Documented in WDFW fish distribution mapping and NWI survey data Listed Species benefited downstream in Tarboo-Dabob Bay Hood Canal summer chum salmon State Candidate and Federal Threatened Puget Sound Chinook salmon State Candidate and Federal Threatened Documented in NWI's nearshore fish survey report- http://www.nwwatershed.oreuploads/pdf/tarbooFishSurvey.pdf Provides habitat for a variety of native flora and fauna The project is surrounded on three sides by permanently protected state lands, much of which is older native forest habitat. Protection of the parcel will protect help restore connected forest habitats that support a high diversity of at-risk fish,bird, amphibian,and mammal species that occur in Pacific Northwest forests, including western toad,amphibians, bats, bear,cougar, blacktail deer, and neo-tropical migratory birds. The 6-acre parcel is primarily 30-year old plantation forest,but includes a variety of forest types including alder and some older trees,as well as at least two yew trees rarely found in this area. Ecologically based thinning of plantation forest is proposed that will promote older forest habitat growth over time for potential use by at-risk species such as fisher and marbled murrelet. Wildlife corridor The property is a critical piece of long-term effort to protect a significant wildlife corridor from the ' See,for example,Imp://www.dnr.wa.go‘iresearc hscience/topic si natural heritageipagesiamp nh.aspx. http://www.w wa.gov/consenationiphs I ist Imp:/.!www I.dnr.wa.gov/nhn'refdeskplants.html http://www I.dnr.wa.cov/nhp/refdesk/pubs/wa ecological systems.pdf 9 2025 CFF Program Application headwaters of Tarboo Creek downstream and around Dabob Bay. Cougar and bear are frequently seen on the Toandos Peninsula and a recent camera trap survey study by Point No Point Treaty Council shows this Toandos area as having a high density of deer and cougar(see maps and photos).Western toads,seen in the area, seasonally migrate from wetlands to nearby forests.The proposed project will significantly benefit landscape scale wildlife conservation. Development of the parcel would impact the larger wildlife corridor through both habitat impacts and potentially significant disturbance from dogs and cats. 8. To what degree does the project protect habitat for anadromous fish species? 8. Describe to what degree the project protects habitat for anadromous fish species(for example:marine shorelines, stream or river corridors including meander zones, and riparian buffers).Please provide documentation and maps that demonstrate the location,quality and extent of the existing buffer and adjoining habitat. The slopes of the Toandos Forest Property drain to a tributary of upper Discovery Creek, which is a salmon spawning stream and the second largest stream feeding Tarboo-Dabob Bay(see Maps). Protection and restoration of the property will prevent stormwater runoff, pesticides, septic waste and other contamination from reaching Discovery Creek or the downstream estuary. Most lands are now conserved within the watershed of Discovery Creek and the addition of this parcel will help secure long-term watershed level protection for native coho salmon,coastal cutthroat trout,fall chum salmon, and steelhead that occur in Discovery Creek. Anadromous Fish Species benefited in adjacent downstream Discovery Creek(WDFW and NWI data): Puget Sound steelhead (likely) State Candidate and Federal Threatened Hood Canal coho salmon Federal Species of Concern Fall chum samon Coastal cutthroat trout Western Brook lamprey(likely) Federal Species of Concern Listed Species benefited downstream in Tarboo-Dabob Bay(documented rearing habitat) Hood Canal summer chum salmon State Candidate and Federal Threatened Puget Sound Chinook salmon State Candidate and Federal Threatened 9. To what degree does the project preserve farmland for agricultural use OR preserve forestland for forest management? 9 a. Describe the extent and nature of current and planned agricultural use or forest management activities of the proposed acquisition, including any anticipated changes to that use once the property, or property right,is acquired with Conservation Futures funds. The forest will be managed for ecologically based sustainable forestry and to restore diverse older forest habitats. NWI will prepare a forest management plan that meets FSC standards and that will involve potential thinning the 30-year-old plantation forest as needed to help restore older forest structure,function and species diversity,and to provide sustainable timber products as feasible. 10 2025 CFF Program Application 9 b.Describe how the acquisition or proposed easement will likely preserve and/or enhance soil, water quality, watershed function and wildlife habitat. NWI proposes to protect and help fully restore watershed functions,wildlife habitat,and water quality by: 1) removing all residential impacts, including trailers,cabin, unpermitted septic system, debris, and utilities, 2) de-compacting and decommissioning roads and residential areas as needed to improve infiltration and soil condition, 3) Planting native trees and shrubs and controlling weeds as needed to revegetate the site, 4) Conducting low impact selective thinning of the Douglas fir plantation as needed to help restore species and structural diversity to the forest. 9 c. Does this project preserve a mix of quality farmland and forestland? This specific project involves forestland and habitat protection and does not include agriculture. However, if the definition of agriculture is broadened to include native food foraging,the Property has excellent potential for gathering of black truffles and other edible mushrooms and deer hunting. In addition,although this property does not include agricultural lands,within the context of the large conservation effort for the Tarboo-Dabob Bay watershed, NWI,JLT,and partners are preserving a mix of agricultural lands,forestlands,wetlands, and wildlife habitats. 10. To what degree does this project increase resiliency to and mitigation of climate change, and is the project's scale significant in regards to increasing climate resiliency? 10. Describe how this project will increase resiliency to and mitigation of climate change. Is the project's scale significant in regards to increasing climate resiliency? Forests of the Pacific Northwest are among the best in the world for sequestering and storing carbon.The project proposal to protect and restore forest habitat will store significant amounts of carbon. Every acre of a 60-year old forest stores roughly the equivalent of 7 years of carbon emissions by the average American. In addition,the planned thinning of the plantation forest to help restore diverse older forest will increase its resilience to forest fires, helping to mitigate climate change impacts. Finally,the property helps the county's resilience to the climate crisis by removing a residential property from the wildland-urban interface where a large fire would be catastrophic for residential uses. 11. What area does the project serve? 11 a. Describe how the proposed acquisition benefits primarily a_local area X broad county area including the area served,the nature of the benefit, the jurisdictions involved, and the populations served. The proposed project benefits a broad county area because it is a key part of a conservation project that extends from the headwaters of Tarboo Creek to the state's Dabob Bay Natural Area to protect and restore habitats and wildlife connectivity on a landscape scale. In particular,the project will protect a critical "gap" in the 11,300 acre Dabob Bay Natural Area that will directly benefit the wildlife, biodiversity and safeguard water quality in downstream Dabob Bay,which has been 11 2025 CFF Program Application recognized as a state and national priority for conservation due to its diverse estuarine habitats and valuable shellfish production. 11 b. Is the project located in an area that is under-represented by CFF funded Projects?Areas that Conservation Futures has not been able to support to date include, Toandos Peninsula,Dosewallips Valley, Bolton Peninsula, and the West End. Yes,the project is located on the Toandos Peninsula, an area under-represented by CFF funding. 12. To what degree is the applicant committing to providing educational opportunities, interpretive opportunities, and/or serve as a general community resource that does not reduce the conservation value(s) of the project? 12. Describe the educational or interpretive opportunities that the applicant will provide for public access, educational or interpretive displays(signage,kiosks, etc.)on the proposed site,including any plans to provide those improvements and any plans for public accessibility that will not reduce the conservation value(s)of the project.2 Provide the time frames when each of the above will be implemented. The Property will serve as an important site for educating the public on forest protection and sustainable use.The site is easily accessible as a stop on NWI field tours and NWI plans to develop a foot trail system to host workshops,tours and other public events to expand understanding and adoption of forest restoration methods. As described in the letter from the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe,the Property will also serve an important educational purpose as a place for the Tribes to pass on traditions of sustainable gathering of forest plants used for cultural purposes and ceremonies. 13. To what degree does the project preserve historic or culturally significant resources3? 13. The proposed acquisition _includes historic or culturally significant resources4 and _is registered with the National Register of Historic Places, or an equivalent program. X is recognized locally has having historic or cultural resources. is adjacent to and provides a buffer for a historic or cultural site. none of the above. If affirmative in any of the above,please describe below, and cite or provide documentation of the historical cultural resources. Please see letter from Laura Price, Cultural Resources Director for the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, that attests to the importance of this Property for preserving and restoring cultural resources. The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe,Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe,and Skokomish Tribe are signatories to the Point No Point Treaty and retain the right to hunt and gather within their Usual and Accustomed Area, including the Tarboo watershed. These tribes continue to rely upon a diversity of intact native plant communities in the region,as they have for thousands of 2 The words "education"and "interpretation"are interpreted broadly by the CFF Committee. 3 Cultural resources means archeological and historic sites and artifacts, and traditional religious ceremonial and social uses and activities of affected Indian Tribes and mandatory protections of resources under chapters 27.44 and 27.53 RCW. 12 2025 CFF Program Application years,as places where they gather traditional food, medicine,and materials for use in all aspects of their cultural life, including social and religious. The project site's forests will provide resources for tribal uses,such as cedar bark for basket weaving. If funded,the project will permanently conserve the forest while allowing sustainable harvest and gathering to maintain tribal cultural traditions. Standalone 0 & M Projects 14.

WASHINGTON 98376 SH&H FILE 16344-25 SHSH February 26,2025 Peter Bahls Executive Director Northwest Watershed Institute 3407 Eddy Street Port Townsend, Washington 98368 Re: Restricted Appraisal Report Hough Property 1125 Toandos Road Quilcene, WA 98376 SH&H File 16344-25 Dear Mr. Bahls: At your request, I am providing you with an appraisal of the above referenced property. Per our agreement, this report is provided in a Restricted Appraisal Report format. This appraisal report has been prepared with the intent to conform with the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute, which includes the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)as promulgated by The Appraisal Foundation. In addition,this report is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(b) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice for a Restricted Appraisal Report. As such, it presents limited discussions of the data,reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser's opinion of value. Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is retained in the appraiser's file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client stated within this report. In completing this assignment, sufficient background information and supporting facts have been analyzed to arrive at a value conclusion, with some of this information being retained in a file memorandum by the appraiser. It is my understanding that this report will be utilized to assist you in establishing the value attributed to the subject's real property as of the effective date of value. The property is currently subject to a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Northwest Watershed Institute, dated November 2024. The contract price is identified as the greater of$120,000 or the "Fair Market Value" of the property as determined by an appraisal. 3609 Market Place West,Suite 201 I University Place,Washington 98466 I p.253.564.3230 I f.253.564.3143 According to the prospective buyer's representative,the $120,000 threshold was generally based on the assessed value of the property. Thus, this appraisal report will be utilized to determine a final contract price for the property. The subject of this appraisal is comprised of one Jefferson County Assessor's parcel with a total area of 6.38 acres, according to Jefferson County GIS information and a Purchase and Sale Agreement document provided. The subject site is located along the easterly side of Toandos Road,westerly of Coyle Road, in the Quilcene-Dabob area of unincorporated Jefferson County (Quilcene address), Washington. The site is forested and gently sloped upward in an easterly direction. The site is improved with a cabin/carport structure containing 168 square feet of enclosed area. Electrical and telephone service are available to the site; however, the site does not have public water access nor is a well or approved septic system installed. The site is, however, currently served by an unapproved septic system, although the legal ability to continue to use this infrastructure is speculative to assume. The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an estimate of the market value of the fee simple interest in the property, as of the date of inspection. The market value of the subject property, as of the date of inspection, February 20, 2025, is estimated at: ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS $145,000 The market value conclusion herein is based on an estimated marketing time of twelve months or less, based on sales of similar properties in the greater market. This estimate of marketing time assumes that the property is competently marketed and priced commensurate with current market parameters. The appraisal report that follows summarizes the assignment, describes the area and the subject property, and explains the valuation techniques and reasoning leading to the final opinion of market value. As in the case of any appraisal, the reader's attention is directed to the underlying Assumptions and Limiting Conditions that are included in the accompanying report. Respectfully submitted, Chad C.

Fee simple interest is defined as follows: "absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain,police power, and escheat."2 LEGAL DESCRIPTION A title report, dated September 16, 2024, completed by First American Title Insurance Company, was provided and contains a full legal description of the subject property. A copy of this document,inclusive of the legal description, is included in the addenda section of this report. SALES HISTORY According to the title report provided, ownership of the subject property is vested with Thomas J.Hough,a single man. Mr.Hough purchased the property on July 10, 1991. The seller was Discovery Investments and the sale was recorded via Statutory Warranty Deed under Jefferson County Auditor's file number 341821. I am not aware of any arm's length or market-based transfers of ownership during the previous ten years. The property is currently subject to a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the seller(Mr. Hough)and the Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI). The contract price is identified as "the greater sum of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND U.S. Dollars ($120,000)or the Fair Market Value of the Property as determined by a qualified appraiser in an appraisal commissioned and paid for by the buyer." The Purchase and Sale Agreement goes on to state that "if the Fair Market Value exceeds $120,000, the Parties agree to amend this Agreement to make such amount the Purchase Price." A copy of the Purchas and Sale Agreement is included in the Addenda of this report. Thus, it is my understanding that the intended use of this Restricted Appraisal report is to help establish a final purchase price relevant to the pending transaction. 2 The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Th Edition,Appraisal Institute,Chicago,2022,p.73 HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 2 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT EFFECTIVE VALUATION DATES Date of Report: February 26,2025 Date of Inspection/Effective Date of Value: February 20,2025 MARKETING/EXPOSURE PERIOD The indicated exposure time(i.e.,the length of time the subject property would have been exposed for sale in the market had it sold at the market value concluded in this analysis as of the date of this valuation) would have been twelve months or less. The estimated marketing time(i.e.,the amount of time it would probably take to sell the subject property if exposed in the market beginning on the date of this valuation) is estimated to be twelve months or less. These conclusions are based on sales of similar type properties in the market. PROBABLE BUYER The most probable buyer of the subject property would likely be an owner user. PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the "as is" market value of the property as of the date of inspection. DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE Market Value is defined as "the most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. "3 DEFINITION OF "AS IS" MARKET VALUE "The estimate of the market value of real property in its current physical condition, use, and zoning as of the appraisal date.

The scope of this restricted assignment relates to the field work, inspection, research, and analysis conducted for preparation and valuation of the subject property's estimated value subject to the limitations detailed in this report. This limited scope appraisal assignment involved an inspection of the subject property on February 20, 2025. Statistical, descriptive, and demographic data was gathered using various informational systems such as the Northwest Multiple Listing Service and Jefferson County public records. In the case of the subject property, given that the property is mostly undeveloped with the exception of a cabin and some site infrastructure, the most (and only) applicable and relevant approach to value is the Sales Comparison Approach. In arriving at the value of the subject property by this approach, sales of similar properties were considered. The other typical approaches (Income Approach and Cost Approach) are not typically relied upon in the subject market for these types of properties and are thus not relevant. The exclusion of the other approaches does not detract from the overall reliability of the value conclusion reported herein. UNAVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION A wetland delineation report, site specific soils study, and environmental report were not provided during the timeframe of this assignment. Therefore, any information that would have been provided by these documents is not known or considered. LOCATION DATA A map showing the subject property's location within the Puget Sound metropolitan area is presented on the following page. A second map showing the subject property's location within the immediate neighborhood is presented following the area map. In general, the subject is located in the Quilcene area of easterly Jefferson County. This area is comprised of a mixture of forestry/resource properties as well as single family development,primarily on larger/low-density parcels. Many homesites in the area benefit from marine views of Hood Canal/associated water bodies and/or the Olympic Mountain Range.

Site Description The subject property consists of one Jefferson County assessor's parcel (APN 701153003) containing 6.38 acres, according to Jefferson County GIS information and the Purchase and Sale Agreement. It is located along the easterly side of Toandos Road, westerly of Coyle Road, in the Quilcene - Dabob area of unincorporated Jefferson County (Quilcene address), Washington. The site is forested and gently sloped upward in an easterly direction. The site is improved with a cabin/carport structure containing 168 square feet of enclosed area. Electrical and telephone service are available to the site; however, the site does not have public water access nor is a well or approved septic system installed. The site is, however, currently served by an unapproved septic system, although the legal ability to continue to use this utility is speculative to assume. The owner currently utilizes a rain catchment system for ancillary water purposes and also uses water from an adjacent property owner (by a hose) under an informal agreement for potable purposes. The property does not have a permanent/conventional water system. An aerial view of the subject, with the approximate boundaries of the subject site outlined in red, is provided on the following page. Further details of the subject site are as follows: Location: The subject site is located along the easterly side of Toandos Road, westerly of Coyle Road, in the Quilcene-Dabob area of unincorporated Jefferson County, Washington. Municipal Jurisdiction: Jefferson County. Address: 1125 Toandos Road Quilcene, Washington 98376 Access: The subject site is accessed by way of a driveway extending off of Toandos Road, a private, gated road extending southwesterly off of Coyle Road. The gate is operated by a keypad system. The road is gravel-surfaced but in good condition and appears to be adequately maintained. Site Area: The subject site is comprised of one assessor's parcel (APN 701153003). According to Jefferson County Assessor's records,the site contains an area of 6.38 acres.

Well and septic systems would be necessary for conventional homesite development. While the property has a septic system adjacent to the cabin, no permits were obtained when it was installed and the legal ability to continue to utilize this system is unknown and speculative to assume. Topography and Coverage: The site contains a combination of sloped and level topography. A topographic map obtained from the Jefferson County GIS mapping system is presented on the following page. Coverage consist primarily mixed conifer species, along with other areas of brush and grasses. Wetlands: I was not provided with any reports or studies relative to wetlands delineation for the subject property. Based on the National Wetlands Inventory map provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Jefferson County GIS mapping system,there do not appear to be any wetlands on the subject site. Flood Plain: According to Flood Insurance Rate Map Number 53031C0910C, dated June 7, 2019, the subject property is located outside of any flood zones. Soils: Soils reports/studies for the subject site were not available. Instead, data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service mapping system is utilized. The subject property is primarily composed of Sinclair gravelly sandy loam, 0 to 15 percent slopes (SnC). The Sinclair series consists of moderately well drained soils that formed in glacial till on glacial terraces. Vegetation is mainly Douglas fir, western redcedar, red alder, willow, rhododendron, and salal. Most of the acreage of this soil is used for the production of trees, small ranches, and rural homesites.

It is noted that there are some areas of debris on the subject property, including an old trailer,vehicle and general debris. I am not aware of any adverse environmental issues that would impact the highest and best use of the subject property. Easements/ Encroachments: A title report relevant to the subject property was provided. There do not appear to be any easements encumbering the subject property that would adversely impact the highest and best use of the site. Surrounding Uses: Surrounding uses in the vicinity of the subject property includes residential uses on larger acreage properties and sites that are managed for the commercial harvest of timber. Views: The site has territorial views. ZONING The subject property consists of one Jefferson County assessor's parcel(701153003). The zoning for the subject property is Rural Residential 5 (RR-5), per the Jefferson County Code. The purpose of this district is to "Allow for continued residential development in areas of Jefferson County consisting of relatively high-density pre-existing patterns of development, along the county's coastal areas, and within areas within or adjacent to rural centers and rural crossroads. In addition, this district seeks to support and foster Jefferson County's existing rural residential landscape and character by restricting new land divisions to a base density of one unit per five acres. " This zoning designation allows for a base density of one dwelling unit per five acres. Outright permitted uses include, but are not limited to, single-family residences, duplexes, home businesses, bed and breakfast residences, mineral extraction activities, parks and playfields, recreational facilities,and aquaculture activities and uses. The subject property contains a reported area of 6.38 acres. The subject is improved with a small cabin and carport. While this is a legal use of the subject site, more permanent/conventional residential development would likely require a well be installed and that the existing septic either be approved by Jefferson County (the outcome of which would he speculative to assume) or a new system installed. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 11 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS The subject property is carried on the Jefferson County Tax and Assessment roll under one assessor's parcel number. Tax and assessment information for the subject property is summarized in the chart below. Land Improve. Total 2025 Parcel Number Value Value Value Taxes 701153003 $105,644 $18,613 $124,257 $1,016.62 The 2025 taxes are based on the 2024 assessed values and result in an amount of$1,016.62 as shown in the above chart. Experience has shown that the assessed value of a property is often an unreliable indicator of market value, despite the assessor's mandate to assess all properties at 100% of market value. This appears to be the case with the subject as the assessed value is lower than the appraised value herein. According to Jefferson County Assessor records, the taxes for the subject are paid current. IMPROVEMENTS DESCRIPTION The subject is improved with a cabin and carport structure. The structure is of wood frame construction and was built in 1999. The enclosed cabin contains one room and has a total area of 168 square feet, according to measurements taken during the physical observation. The interior is sparsely finished and has electrical service; however, the site does not contain a well nor access to public water, nor is there an approved septic system. The carport is adjacent to the cabin and contains an area of 126 square feet. The site is further improved with a rainwater catchment system, as well as a storage shed containing 120 square feet. The structures are overall in average condition. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 12 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,Mid RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT HIGHEST AND BEST USE "As Though Vacant" Considering the limited allowed legal uses according to zoning, as well as the physical characteristics of the site,the highest and best use of the property"as though vacant" is for development of the site with one single-family residence. "As Improved" The subject is improved with a small cabin and carport structure;however,there is no well or approved septic system in place. The structure has utilitarian value to the site for recreational use. Therefore, the highest and best use as improved is for continued use of the existing recreational improvement in the interim, with the potential for single-family residential development in the future, as dictated by demand. PROPERTY VALUATION The subject site is a rural residential site and is improved with a cabin/carport structure. Although all three approaches to value were considered, based on the characteristics of the subject property, the only applicable and relevant approach to value is the Sales Comparison Approach. The Sales Comparison Approach is considered to provide sufficient data to arrive at a reasonable and supportable value conclusion for the subject property. SALES COMPARISON APPROACH The Sales Comparison Approach involves the process of comparing improved properties which have recently sold, with the subject property, noting and adjusting for similarities and dissimilarities between the property being appraised and the sale comparables. This approach to value considers a physical unit of comparison, the price per site in this case. Within this approach, I will evaluate comparable sales data to formulate a value estimate for the subject property. The research for comparable sales focused on rural residential properties with similar use potential as the subject. The search first focused on the sale of rural properties that contained outbuildings and/or small residential/cabin structures. Two sales were identified (L-2 and L-4). The search was then expanded to include unimproved properties with similar development potential as the subject. To that end,two additional closed sales were identified (L-3 and L-5), as well as one current listing(L-1). HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 13 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT All of the comparables are located within the subject's general neighborhood of Quilcene, and all of the closed sales have occurred within the past six months. A total of four closed comparable sales and one current listing were selected for the analysis of the subject property. The exhibit below summarizes the comparables utilized, with a location map shown on the page after the chart. Following the map, more detailed information for the comparables is presented,together with a parcel map. In this instance, the most appropriate unit of comparison is the price per site.

There is an approved 5-bedroom septic permit; however, installation of the septic system, along with a well, are required for development. A GeoTech study has been completed for the property and has identified adequate buildable space for a single-family residential development. The property has been listed for sale multiple times over the past few years. According to the listing agent,the buildable area of the site is greatly diminished due to significant sloping;however, a small portion is buildable.

An adjustment process is applied to the comparables,with an adjustment chart presented following the discussion of the comparables. The adjustment process allows the appraiser to consider the thought process often followed by buyers and sellers in comparing different properties. Within the discussion of each sale detailed herein, the sales' characteristics are noted and compared to the subject, resulting in conclusions requiring adjustments to the indicated unit prices of the comparables. Qualitative adjustments are applied, either positive or negative, to account for physical differences between the comparables and the subject property. In this instance, the price per site has been utilized for analysis purposes. Quantitative Adjustments The property rights conveyed, financing, conditions of sale, and buyer expenditures/other do not require any quantitative adjustments for the comparables. Market Conditions In analyzing the influence of the market conditions at the time of sale of the comparables in relation to the market conditions as of the date of appraisal,the key factor is the passage of time. More specifically, the question to be answered in its simplest form is whether there is any trend in general prices through time. The date of sale for the comparables ranges from July 2024 to January 2025, as well as a current listing. All of the closed sales have occurred within the last six months,with one of the sales occurring a few weeks before the date of inspection for the subject. The rural residential market in Jefferson County has historically exhibited gradual signs of growth. Therefore,due to the relatively recent dates of sale, no market conditions adjustments are applied to the comparables. After quantitative adjustments, the comparables indicate a range on a price per site basis from $89,000 to$150,000 per site. The next step is to consider the appropriate qualitative adjustments to apply to the comparables for the analysis of the subject. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 27 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT Qualitative Adjustments The individual comparable sales are now compared to the subject as it relates to qualitative adjustments, including Location, Site Size (Acres), Site Utility, Utilities in Place, and Improvements. An adjustment grid has been prepared, as shown on the following page, simulating the thought process a prudent and knowledgeable purchaser might use if involved in comparing the comparables to the subject property. This chart is presented as an aid in depicting the positive and negative influences that impact the market value of properties in this market segment. Location The subject is located on the Toandos Peninsula, off of Toandos Road, which is a private, gated road finished with gravel and dirt. L-1 and L-5 are also located on the Toandos Peninsula, but are accessed off of Coyle Road, which is a finished and county-maintained arterial. Additionally,L-5 is located in a subdivision plat. These comparables are therefore adjusted downward for location. L-2 contains a considerable amount of frontage along a higher trafficked arterial (Center Road), which is a less desirable attribute for a rural residential property. Thus,this comparable is adjusted upward for location. The remaining sales are similar enough when compared to the subject in location that no adjustment is needed for this factor. Site Size The subject contains 6.38 acres. All of the comparables are similar enough in size to forgo an adjustment. Site Utility The subject property has a combination of sloped and level topography. L-1 and L-2 have more sloped topography and are adjusted upward, with L-1 reported to have a very confined potential homesite due to topography. Thus,upward adjustments are appropriate for this factor,with a stronger adjustment applied to L-1. L-5 has less areas of sloping than the subject and is adjusted downward. The remaining comparables are generally similar to the subject in site utility and no adjustments are applied.

Although the subject currently has a septic system in place, it was not approved at the time of installation and the ability to legally utilize this infrastructure is speculative. Therefore, the property is essentially viewed as not having a septic system for analysis purposes. The historical functionality of the existing system, however, suggests that the site's soils are capable of supporting such a system. L-1 also has electrical service and there is an approved septic design in place. This comparable is adjusted downward for utilities. L-2 has electrical service as well as a drilled well and is also adjusted downward for this factor. L-4 does not have electrical service and is adjusted upward. L-3 and L-5 are similar to the subject in this regard and no adjustments are needed. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 29 SII&11 File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT Improvements The subject is improved with a small cabin/carport structure, as well as a storage shed. L- 4 has a newer tiny home in average/good condition; thus, a strong downward adjustment is applied to this comparable. L-2 is improved with some outbuildings;thus,no adjustment is applied to this comparable. L-1, L-3 and L-5 do not contain improvements or outbuildings. These comparables are adjusted upward for this factor. Conclusion The five comparables indicate a range from$89,000 to $150,000 per site. Predicated upon the previous discussion and taking into consideration the location and quality of the subject property, a value higher than L-3 ($135,000/site), but lower than L-4 ($150,000) and L-5 ($150,000/site)is reasonable. Based on my analysis and discussion herein,a value estimate of $145,000, as bracketed and supported by the central tendencies of L-3 and L-4, is concluded for subject property, resulting in an overall value, as follows: VALUE BY THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH Acres Value I 6.38 $145,000 Predicated upon the previous analysis, the opinion of value for the subject property by the Sales Comparison Approach is as follows: Market Value Indication by the Sales Comparison Approach, as of February 20,2025: $145,000 HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 30 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT Reconciliation Only the Sales Comparison Approach is utilized for this appraisal assignment.

No responsibility is assumed for legal or title considerations. Title to the subject property is marketable and free and clear of all liens,encumbrances,encroachments,easements and restrictions. The property is assumed to be under responsible ownership and competent management and is assumed available for its highest and best use. 2. There are no existing judgments or pending or threatened litigation that impact the value of the property. 3. There are no hidden or undisclosed conditions of the land or of the improvements that impact the value of the property. 4. Information, public and private, relevant to sale price indications is assumed to be correct. 5. The property is in compliance with all applicable building,environmental,zoning, and other federal, state and local laws, regulations and codes. 6. Information, estimates and opinions contained in the report, obtained from others, including third-party sources,are assumed to be reliable and have not been independently verified and no warranty is given for accuracy. 7. An appraisal is inherently subjective and represents my opinion as to the value of the property appraised. 8. The conclusions stated in my appraisal apply only as of the effective date of the appraisal, and no representation is made as to the effect of subsequent events. 9. No changes in any federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes (including, without limitation,the Internal Revenue Code)are anticipated. 10. When environmental impact studies are not provided in conjunction with the appraisal, I reserve the right to revise or rescind any of the value opinions based upon any subsequent environmental impact studies. If any environmental impact statement is required by law, the appraisal assumes that such statement will be favorable and will be approved by the appropriate regulatory bodies. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 37 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 11. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, 1 am not required to give testimony, respond to any subpoena or attend any court, governmental or other hearing with reference to the property without compensation relative to such additional employment. 12. I have made no survey of the property and assume no responsibility in connection with such matters. Any sketch or survey of the property included in this report is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be scaled accurately for size. The appraisal covers the property as described in this report, and the areas and dimensions set forth are assumed to be correct. 13. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil,gas or mineral rights,if any,and I have assumed that the property is not subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of such materials, unless otherwise noted in my appraisal. 14. I accept no responsibility for considerations requiring expertise in other fields. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, legal descriptions and other legal matters such as legal title, geologic considerations such as soils and seismic stability, and civil, mechanical,electrical,structural and other engineering and environmental matters. 15. The distribution of the total valuation in the report between land and improvements applies only under the reported highest and best use of the property. The allocations of value for land and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used. The appraisal report shall be considered only in its entirety. No part of the appraisal report shall be utilized separately or out of context. 16. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report(especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraisers, or any reference to the Appraisal Institute) shall be disseminated through advertising media, public relations media, news media or any other means of communication (including without limitation prospectuses, private offering memoranda and other offering material provided to prospective investors) without the prior written consent of the person signing the report. 17. Any income and expense estimates contained in the appraisal report are used only for the purpose of estimating value and do not constitute predictions of future operating results. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 38 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 18. If the property is subject to one or more leases, any estimate of residual value contained in the appraisal may be particularly affected by significant changes in the condition of the economy, of the real estate industry, or of the appraised property at the time these leases expire or otherwise terminate. 19. No consideration has been given to personal property located on the premises or to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property; only the real property has been considered. 20. The current purchasing power of the dollar is the basis for the value stated herein. I have assumed that no extreme fluctuations in economic cycles will occur. 21. The analyses contained in the report necessarily incorporate numerous estimates and assumptions regarding property performance, general and local business and economic conditions, the absence of material changes in the competitive environment and other matters. Some estimates or assumptions, however, inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, actual results achieved during the period covered by my analysis will vary from my estimates, and the variations may be material. The Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)became effective in the 1990s. I have not made a specific survey or analysis of the property to determine whether the physical aspects of the improvements meet the ADA accessibility guidelines. I claim no expertise in ADA issues,and render no opinion regarding compliance of the subject with ADA regulations. Inasmuch as compliance matches each owner's financial ability with the cost to cure the non-conforming physical characteristics of a property, a specific study of both the owner's financial ability and the cost to cure any deficiencies would be needed for the Department of Justice to determine compliance. 22. No studies have been provided to me indicating the presence or absence of hazardous materials on the subject property or in the improvements, and my valuation is predicated upon the assumption that the subject property is free and clear of any environmental hazards including, without limitation, hazardous wastes, toxic substances and mold. No representations or warranties are made regarding the environmental condition of the subject property and the person signing the report shall not be responsible for any such environmental conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because I am not experts in the field of environmental conditions, the appraisal report cannot be considered as an environmental assessment of the subject property. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 39 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,ALAI ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 23. The person signing the report may have reviewed available flood maps and may have noted in the appraisal report whether the subject property is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. I am not qualified to detect such areas and therefore do not guarantee such determinations. The presence of flood plain areas and/or wetlands may affect the value of the property, and the value conclusion is predicated on the assumption that wetlands are non-existent or minimal. 24. The appraisal report and the value conclusion within the appraisal is predicated upon the assumption that the satisfactory completion of construction, repairs or alterations will be performed in a workmanlike manner. 25. It is expressly acknowledged that in any action which may be brought against SH&H Valuation and Consulting,or their respective officers,owners,managers,directors,agents, subcontractors or employees(the "SH&H Valuation and Consulting Parties"), arising out of, relating to, or in any way pertaining to this engagement, the appraisal reports, or any estimates or information contained therein,the"SH&H Valuation and Consulting Parties" shall not be responsible or liable for an incidental or consequential damages or losses, unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with gross negligence. It is further acknowledged that the collective liability of the"SH&H Valuation and Consulting Parties" in any such action shall not exceed the fees paid for the preparation of the appraisal report unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with gross negligence. Finally, it is acknowledged that the fees charged herein are in reliance upon the foregoing limitations of liability. 26. SH&H Valuation and Consulting, an independently owned and operated company, has prepared the appraisal for the specific purpose stated elsewhere in the report. The intended use of the appraisal is stated in the report. The use of the appraisal report by anyone other than the Client is prohibited except as otherwise provided. Accordingly, the appraisal report is addressed to and shall be solely for the Client's use and benefit unless I provide my prior written consent. I expressly reserve the unrestricted right to withhold my consent to your disclosure of the appraisal report(or any part thereof including,without limitation, conclusions of value and our identity),to any third parties. Stated again for clarification, unless my prior written consent is obtained,no third party may rely on the appraisal report (even if their reliance was foreseeable). HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 40 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 27. The conclusions contained in this report are estimates based on known current trends and reasonably foreseeable future occurrences. These estimates are based partly on property information, data obtained in public records, interviews, existing trends, buyer-seller decision criteria in the current market,and research conducted by third parties, and such data are not always completely reliable. SH&H Valuation and Consulting and the undersigned are not responsible for these and other future occurrences that could not have reasonably been foreseen on the effective date of this assignment. Furthermore, it is inevitable that some assumptions will not materialize and that unanticipated events may occur that will likely affect actual performance. While I am of the opinion that my findings are reasonable based on current market conditions, I do not represent that these estimates will actually be achieved, as they are subject to considerable risk and uncertainty. Moreover, I assume competent and effective management and marketing for the duration of the projected holding period of this property. 28. Any prospective value estimates presented in this report are estimates and forecasts which are prospective in nature and are subject to considerable risk and uncertainty. In addition to the contingencies noted in the preceding paragraph,several events may occur that could substantially alter the outcome of my estimates such as, but not limited to changes in the economy, interest rates, and capitalization rates, behavior of consumers, investors and lenders,fire and other physical destruction,changes in title or conveyances of easements and deed restrictions, etc. It is assumed that conditions reasonably foreseeable at the present time are consistent or similar with the future. 29. The value estimate herein is subject to these and to any other assumptions or conditions set forth in the body of this report, but which may have been omitted from this list of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions. HOUGH PROPERTY,1125 TOANDOS ROAD,QUILCENE,JEFFERSON COUNTY,WA 98376 Page 41 SH&H File 16344-25 Chad C.Johnson,MAI EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS AND/OR HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS 1. Extraordinary Assumption: "an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions. "5 Extraordinary assumptions assume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends;or about the integrity of data used in analysis. There are no extraordinary assumptions relevant to this appraisal. 2. Hypothetical Conditions: "a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purpose of analysis. "6 A hypothetical condition assumes conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in analysis. There are no hypothetical conditions relevant to this appraisal. 5 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, 2024 Edition, Appraisal Standards Board, The Appraisal Foundation, Washington D.0,p.4. 6 Ibid,p.4.

Conservation Project File From:Peter Bahis, Executive Director CC: Date: February 25, 2025 Re: Executive Committee Resolution to Submit Jefferson County Conservation Futures 2025 Application for the Toandos Forest project. At its Annual Board Meeting of June 21, 2024, the Board of Directors of Northwest Watershed Institute unanimously approved the following resolution— An executive committee comprised of Peter Bahls and Janis Henry shall serve as an executive committee to have the power to make on-going decisions between Board meetings per the existing by-laws. On February 25, 2025 the executive committee approved the following resolution— DECIDED — Northwest Watershed Institute shall sponsor and submit a grant application for Jefferson County Conservation Futures 2025 Program for the Toandos Forest project within the boundaries of the state's Dabob Bay Natural Area. Priority:The Toandos Forest property is 6x the size of the Upper Yarr property and is at high risk of development if JCCF funding is not awarded, so it is considered the top priority for NWI. ill/e.ei Peter Bahis Janis Henry President Secretary February 27,2025 Peter Bahls, Executive Director Northwest Watershed Institute 3407 Eddy Street Port Townsend,WA 98368 Dear Mr. Bahls: I understand that Northwest Watershed Institute is applying for Jefferson County Conservation Futures JCCF)grant funding to acquire and protect Toandos Forest,6.38 acres of forestland within the state's Dabob Bay Natural Area boundaries. If successful,the grant funding will protect the forest under county deed restrictions and allow older forest habitats to develop,while permitting some limited harvest of trees and other forest products.We strongly support this project and want to convey the importance of the forest as a cultural resource to the Tribes. The JCCF grant application states that cultural resources include"...traditional,religious,ceremonial,and social uses and activities of affected Indian Tribes...".I want to make it clear that the Toandos Forest is a cultural resource under this definition and the proposed plan for protection and restoration would help grow its importance. Four tribes-Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe,Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe,Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe,and Skokomish Tribe-are signatories to the Point No Point Treaty and retain the right to hunt and gather within their Usual and Accustomed Area, including the Tarboo watershed. These Tribes continue to rely upon the forests of the region,as they have for thousands of years,as places where they gather traditional food, medicine,and materials for use in all aspects of their cultural life, including social and religious. Currently,the Tribe is enjoying a renaissance of weavers and artists using traditional methods and materials; especially materials from the cedar tree. For example,tribal members harvest the inner bark of large cedar trees for weaving baskets and clothing used for ceremonial purposes.They also harvest wood from cedar,big leaf maple,and alder trees to make large box drums,masks,and other traditional objects that the Tribes have used for thousands of years for religious and social ceremonies. However,with the conversion of vast areas to private industrial tree farms and development projects, it is increasing difficult for the Tribes to access forests suitable for traditional cultural uses. The proposed project will protect an important cultural resource for the Tribes:a growing native forest where,with good stewardship,the benefits to the Tribes will continue to grow as the forest develops into an older,biologically diverse forest with a large variety of indigenous plants and trees of cultural importance.The Tarboo forest is significant not just for the materials it can offer over time,but the opportunity for the Tribe to harvest locally;the process of harvesting itself is infused with traditional,social and religious meaning that we want to pass on to the coming generations.

Overview Jefferson County welcomes your application to the Conservation Futures Fund Program(CFF Program). Please do not hesitate to contact the program coordinator at Jefferson County Public Health with questions at Ph: 360- 379-4498 or tpokorny@co.jefferson.wa.us.The Conservation Futures Program website address is http://www.co.j efferson.wa.us/commissioners/Conservation/conservation.asp. In July 2002,the county commissioners approved the Conservation Futures Ordinance,Jefferson County Code Section 3.08, in accordance with the Revised Code of Washington(RCW)Chapter 84.34.The ordinance establishes goals for the county's Conservation Futures Program and an allocation process for the conservation futures tax levy. The purpose of the CFF Program is to acquire open space lands, including green spaces,greenbelts, fish and wildlife habitat,trail rights-of-ways, agricultural land and forest land(as those terms are defined in Ch. 84.34 RCW). Projects may include fee-simple or any lesser interest or development right with respect to real property as well as operation and maintenance(0&M)activities.0&M projects must be linked to a past, or proposed, CFF-funded acquisition. A minimum 50%match is required for all project types.Match must be cash, land trades,the value of land to be traded, or other open spaces linked to the property under application. Lands valued primarily for their open space, wildlife habitat,agriculture and forest values and their associated non-monetized ecosystem service values are all eligible.The project sponsor must sign a grant agreement with the county(see Appendix A). County code(JCC 03.08.030(10))requires that properties or easements be held by public entities or others as defined in RCW 84.34.210. Government entities may choose to share title of a property with a non-profit nature conservancy corporation or association. Public open spaces must be available on the same conditions to all residents of the county for the benefit of Jefferson County residents and visitors.Applicants for projects may include the county, municipalities, park districts, state or federal agencies,private non-profit corporations or associations, and private individuals. Project applicants must be represented by a local sponsoring organization based in Jefferson County.Potential sponsors include local governments, special purpose districts and non-profit corporations. A list of potential sponsors is available by contacting program staff.A project sponsor is responsible for the content and submission of the application,organizing and hosting a site visit,making a project presentation to the CFFCOC,the stewardship plan and its implementation, and all County contracting,reporting,and reimbursement requirements. Available funding is announced late in the calendar year and applications are provided by Jefferson County Public Health. Conservation Futures Fund monies can be the collateral,revenue stream or security for long-term financing(typically bonds) in a manner consistent with law.Public workshop(s)may be held prior to the start of the funding round and are available by request throughout the year.The program coordinator is always available to answer questions from sponsors, applicants, and interested parties. This funding cycle, applications will be due March 21,2025 and sponsors host site visits and present projects to the CFFCOC in mid-March. Information about the application period is posted on the program website, announced in local newspapers and via email,and available by contacting the program coordinator. In April,the CFFCOC meets to rank projects, determine recommended funding levels, and compose its overall recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners(BoCC). The BoCC typically makes award determinations in July. Approved project funds are not generally available to project sponsors until August or later. At least every other year,the BoCC reviews the priorities of the CFF Program and the project ranking process. All meetings of the CFFCOC are open to the public. Citizens are encouraged to attend. 3 2025 CFF Program Manual httpliv.wwco.iettcrson.wa.us.5b0/Cunsen alion-Futures-Program 2.

It includes at least two individuals from each commissioner district and at least nine citizens total.Anyone interested in applying for a seat on the committee is encouraged to contact the Board of County Commissioners Office (jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us) and/or the program coordinator at Public Health. 3. Project Selection The CFFCOC scores and ranks project applications according to criteria designed to reflect the priorities expressed in the Jefferson County Code Section 03.08.040. This evaluation process has five(5)distinct phases as follows: 1. Final written project application:Each CFFCOC member independently reads and assesses each application and prepares any necessary clarification questions. 2. Site visits: Each member must attend the project site visits(or view a video of the site visit). Questions may be posed by committee members and answered during this site visit or they may be held until the project presentations meeting. 3. Oral presentation of the project:Each sponsor and CFFCOC member attend this meeting during which the project sponsor(s)present their project(s)and answer questions posed by the committee members.Following the oral presentations,a deadline will be established for CFFCOC members to submit additional questions to applicants(via county staff).After this set deadline for additional questions, a second deadline will be established for the receipt of all answers from applicants.After this second deadline,no further additional information may be requested,received or considered by the committee. 4. Submission of project score sheets:Each CFFCOC member submits to the program coordinator a form for each project consisting of questions that ask how well,in the committee member's judgement, an applicant meets the criteria for approval and funding. The committee member assigns a numerical "score" (within a range predetermined by the CFFCOC)for each of the questions and it is weighted by a predetermined multiplier. Individual scores for each project are recorded in a spreadsheet by the program coordinator. This spreadsheet is emailed to CFFCOC members as soon as all the scores are available and entered as soon as possible ahead of the meeting to rank projects. 5. During the meeting to rank projects, CFFCOC members will have an opportunity to ask questions of each other about scoring choices and interpretations of specific questions and may adjust their scores as desired. Afterwards, a committee composite score for each project application is obtained by taking the average of the individualscores. If a project application's composite score is 70%of the total possible numerical value for a project score or greater,the project is considered automatically worthy of funding(i.e.eligible for). Projects scoring below 70%of the total possible numerical value for a project score are not considered for funding unless compelling reasons for funding arise in the final evaluation phase. 6. Ranking and recommendation for funding of project applications: Each project application judged eligible in phase#5 is discussed,bringing into focus information garnered from phases 1 through 5 and in light of current funds available to the cycle. All project applications are compared and a final ranking and funding recommendation may be determined for each of the project applications and submitted to the Board of County Commissioners in a memo from the CFFCOC chair or vice chair. 4 2025 CFF Program Manual imp VA%co.letIcrsonAsa.uc.560.(onscr .i ion-I utuNs-Program The CFFCOC must provide justification to the Commissioners for any and all changes from the numerical ranked order. 4. Preapplication Option: Applicants are encouraged to submit their application, complete or not, by the preapplication deadline. Doing so allows the CFFCOC to ask more informed questions at the site visit. 5. Information Sources The CFF Program is administered by the Commissioners'Office with assistance from Public Health.Please note that the information contained in this manual does not supersede the statutes governing the Jefferson County Conservation Futures Fund and Program, and should be read in conjunction with them, Relevant sections of law are found in Revised Code of Washington, Chapter 84.34(RCW 84.34)and the Jefferson County Code(JCC 03.08). To access RCW 84.34 online,visit Itttps://app.lea.waxov/rcw.The Jefferson County Code is available online at http://www.codepublishing.com/WA/JeffersonCounty. Contact the program coordinator at ph:360-379-4498 or email tpokorny@co.jefferson.wa.us. 6. Reimbursement All grants are funded by the Jefferson County Conservation Futures Fund tax levy. After a public hearing is held, one or more project award resolutions may be passed by the Board of County Commissioners, usually in June or July. Project agreement(s)(Appendix A)between the County and the project sponsor are then developed to include the full scope of work as described in the original or updated application. A final draft grant deed of conservation easement or statutory warranty deed is requested to serve as an attachment to the agreement along with the project application and that year's program manual. Except in the case of escrow payments,sponsors must expend their own funds on eligible and allowable expenditures prior to requesting reimbursement. With sufficient lead time, an approved settlement statement,the qualifying property appraisal,and the required documentation of the matching contribution, CFF funds may be made available to the title company shortly before closing for the direct costs of property acquisition. Please discuss dates for closings with the program coordinator to help ensure that grant funds are ready and available when needed. The project sponsor will commit to providing a matching contribution consistent with the project application, and no less than the amount of conservation futures funds awarded to the project,before conservation futures tax funds are reimbursed to that sponsor.This contribution may consist of: • cash; • land trades if the valuation of the land to be traded is established by a valuation arising from an appraisal generated by a Washington State Certified Licensed Appraiser(Member of the Appraisal Institute MAI); • the cash value of the land to be traded, excluding Jefferson County conservation futures contributions;or • other open spaces acquired within the previous two years that are situated either directly adjacent to or could, in the sole discretion of the county,be directly linked to the property under application. 5 2025 CFF Program Manual hnp:'%w w.iso.iellersun.w%a.us'560/Cunsenatiun-Futures-Pruaram • cost of appraisal,title insurance,closing costs,and other miscellaneous fees(See JCC 3.08.030(5).) Deeds and conservation easement documents must be recorded by the Jefferson County Auditor's Office within 30 days of closing. If matching funds are not secured within three years,the project may be required to re-apply. Language pre-approved by Jefferson County is required to be included in conservation easement documents or statutory warranty deeds in order to ensure adequate protections for project and match properties, and the public interest, in perpetuity. 7. Compliance with All Laws Project sponsors shall comply fully with the project agreement,grant program policies,County policies and all applicable federal,state and local laws, orders, regulations and permits. 8. Record Retention/Public Records Act The project sponsor shall retain all books, records,documents, data and other materials relevant to the agreement for a minimum of ten(10)years after the completion of the project.Documents related to the expenditure of CFF funds, by way of example only,purchase and sale agreements, settlement documents, invoices, e-mails,expert reports and/or appraisals,are Public Records subject to disclosure in accordance with the Public Records Act,Ch. 42.56 RCW,if requested by a citizen or entity.

Additional Reporting Five years after the final requisite annual report is submitted,sponsors should provide an update on their stewardship and monitoring of the project. At any point subsequent to this,the CFFCOC or program staff may also inquire as to project status. 16. Project Changes Project sponsors are expected to implement funded projects as described in their application to the CFFCOC. However,occasional changes may be necessary. This section describes the process by which a project sponsor can initiate a request for change. A change occurs whenever the language contained in the application to the Conservation Futures Fund no longer accurately or fully describes the project. A proposed project change typically requires that the CFFCOC first develop a recommendation for the BoCC to consider. The CFFCOC prefers that project change requests be presented as follows: 1. Send a"letter",addressed to the CFFCOC and Board of County Commissioners,in an email to the program coordinator describing the desired change(s)and need for it/them in as much detail as possible. Also,characterize the level of urgency for addressing the possible change. If at all possible,provide this information at least two weeks ahead of the next scheduled full CFFCOC meeting for possible inclusion on the draft agenda. 2. Reflect the proposed change(s) in a Microsoft Word version of the original Conservation Futures Fund application,and the County/Sponsor resolution or agreement(as applicable), using Track Changes.Label new attachments with the current date.Attach the document(s)to the email described above. 3. When the change request is included on an agenda,the sponsor should make every effort to attend that meeting in person or by phone/internet. 4. If the need for change is urgent,the Chair may call a special,ad hoc,meeting. However, such a meeting requires that a quorum of CFFCOC members is available to approve any recommendation to the BoCC. 5. The following change requests are considered particularly significant, and always require CFFCOC review and recommendation to the BoCC: a. Parcel substitution or removal b. Increase in funding amount c. Reduction in percentage match d. Loss of conservation value e. Change in funding category(acquisition and/or 0&M) The CFFCOC shall: 1. Review the request for change and ask questions of the project sponsor, as needed. 2. Engage in discussion about the proposed change. 3. Formulate and vote, consistent with the bylaws,on a motion to accomplish one or more of the following: a. Draft a statement to recommend the change for approval by the BoCC in its current form. b. Ask the project sponsor to revise and resubmit the change request for a future meeting. c. Reject the change and submit a statement to the BoCC to accompany the request. 12 2025 CFF Program Manual http:/'w‘,‘‘.ru.1cfrer.on.wa.us'50/Conservation-Puturs-Pn Damn Staff shall: 1. Work with the project sponsor and CFFCOC chair to refine or clarify the change request ahead of its presentation at the next CFFCOC meeting,as needed. 2. Forward the change request and CFFCOC recommendations to the BoCC for final determination at a regularly scheduled meeting. 3. Work with the CFFCOC,and sub-committee(s)as applicable,to learn from the change and determine if related updates to program materials are needed. 17. Program Suggestions Suggestions for program improvements are always welcome and may be provided to the CFFCOC by letter or email via the program coordinator at the contact information on page 3. Every CFFCOC meeting also includes at least two public comment periods. Meeting agendas are posted on the program website. 13 2025 CFF Program Manual http:!hvwn.cu.jef iersun.s+a.a-'910/Consen atiun-Futures-Pwgr,un APPENDIX A GRANT AGREEMENT TEMPLATE FOR FEE SIMPLE ACQUISITIONS (INFORMATIONAL ONLY) Please Note: Contact program coordinator to request the template for conservation easements.
