Based on your rough coordinates, I'm familiar with the area between Woodinville and Duval. I concur with ADTech's observations... My experience with the tall Douglas Fir, Cedar and other trees in hill top areas with LOS path conditions has seen the need to use the largest available antennas in some cases.

The combination of an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713 are not overkill in my experience.

Be ready to mount as high as safety and budget allow. And as already cautioned, test before drilling.
