It may seem mundane, but how about Rhodies? Or maybe a deciduous

Maple.

Vine maple is a good choice, because they're native to the pacific NW.

How about Acer circinatum 'Monroe', which was discovered along
the McKenzie river in Oregon? To about 15 ft. Looks a lot like
the famous A. japonicum 'Aconitifolium' to which it is probably
related. (Circinatum in general I mean, not 'Monroe' particularly.)

Lots of other maples might fit the bill. A couple of nice variegated
ones that will grow to around the right size are A. x conspicuum
'Silver Cardinal' or A. rufinerve 'Albolimbatum.'

You don't say what width you're looking to fill, or any other
criteria, so it's hard to know what to recommend further. There
are certainly many A. palmatum to fit almost any space.
