Please help identify two native shrubs in Sequim, WA.
The leaves are 1" long, oval, smooth,
alternate. Currently, it has bright red, rather translucent berries (not
opaque-surfaced, like a cotoneaster). The berries have a little circle on the
bottom, like a blueberry. I saw this shrub growing in a clear cut field, along
the trail to Shi Shi Beach.
A deciduous vaccininium of some kind perhaps, possibly a huckleberry.

"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
