1. Abies grandis
2. 40-70 meters
3. Lowland fir

Yes correct (in the guide it says 30-61 meters) but you are close enough. Your turn to post!

It is on the national list, but is not a maple. I chose the picture that seemed closest to the picture in the Audubon Field Guide.

Let me give a hint (this will totally give it away, but whatever):

[i]Platanus racemosa[/i], California Sycamore

Now I wish I had the Western Audubon guide, but I don't think there's a point in getting it since Forestry is cycling out ...
