Thank you, ForestDragon

If Burien had a heritage tree program, maybe there would be an incentive for the next owner of the property to keep the tree.

Tiny, about a quarter of an inch long.

Gordon, thanks. The closest I can come up with is blaesoxipha kellyi, in the Sarcophagidae.

The plant with the yellow flower is Avens, Geum macrophyllum. The splotchy-leafed plant near it is buttercup, Ranunculus repens.

I suspect this is not Fragaria vesca. Usually the flowers of vesca are smaller than the leaves, and they don't typically bloom in October. Also, all the teeth on the leaves of the plant you have pictured are pointing toward the end of the leaf. In vesca, the teeth are more radiating outward, kind of fanning. It is possible that this is Fragaria vesca, but my guess is that it is a non-native cultivar. It might also be the native Fragaria virginiana. If it is vesca, it is not typical of the species.

This eagle was photographed in Eagle Landing Park. I have been unable to correct the location.

In a very shallow tide pool, covered by a couple inches of water.

Looks a little like turkey tail.
