4 materials work well in Delridge, each with real trade-offs. Trex Transcend and TimberTech AZEK (PVC composite) handle Seattle moisture with 25-30 year fade warranties and no annual maintenance, but composite gets hot on south-facing decks in summer. Western Red Cedar costs less upfront and looks great on traditional Delridge homes, though you'll re-stain it every 2-3 years. IPE hardwood lasts 50-75 years and gets better with age, at $28–$40 per sq ft installed. Longfellow Creek valley creates a microclimate of higher humidity and shaded grade-level decks; joist flashing and proper ground clearance matter more than typical here factors into every choice here.
