That is a beautiful area to play with! I love your rocks. Your area reminds me of the area in this photo, which I took at the Vashon Island garden tour in 2009, accompanied by Holly! I remember thinking 'oh to have that open space with full sun'!
Apparently you have the native plants covered so I'll chime in with the other kind. How about a moderately sized ceonothus? And have you considered any clumping grasses? I love how the taller grasses create movement in the garden, and provide winter interest, too. I'm especially partial to the last rays of sun shining through them at the end of a summer day. How do you feel about cape fuchsias? They are not evergreen, but would put on a good show in your location and be hummingbird magnets.
And then I think about something like a graceful dwarf conifer?
