I also noticed that VHF 9 & 11 tend to be affected less by weather and moving tree limbs. (I'm north of you by 20 - 30 miles).
You can certainly try combining the existing antenna and a UHF with a reversed splitter, but many have found the results to be far less satisfying than hoped due to the lack of filters, so the two antennas often 'fight' each other... Mixing a marginal or poor signal from one antenna with the good signal from the other often leave you with something akin to clean water mixed with dirty water.
If you aim a new UHF antenna at Tiger Mountain consider cabling it separately to a set top tuner connected to an aux input or better yet, an HDMI input if you have one available.
Starting from scratch, most folks in the Seattle market would do well to consider a combination of a UHF and separate H-VHF antenna. A premium solution to consider would be an Antennas Direct DB8e and an Antennacraft Y10713. This gives you plenty of gain, and the ability to fine tune aim for each band (UHF vs. H-VHF).
Combining the two antennas is best done with a UVSJ which has the filters needed to prevent interaction between the two antennas.
