I've seen Linnea borealis all over rotting stumps in coastal Washington. And
Polystichum munitum. And Mitchella repens grows that way naturally around
here, and I'm sure would do well there as well. Of course, nurse logs are
where Douglasfir naturally get started...
If it's native plants you're after, check out your own Whatcom county
cooperative extension service, which has a fantastic website with resources
on gardening with native plants
