Moss and western Washington roofs, per WSU Extension

WSU Extension’s demossing manual says mosses, lichens and algae thrive in cool, damp climates, and that the part of Washington west of the Cascade Mountains has that kind of climate. It also warns that uncontrolled moss shortens the lifespan of a roof. That is a regional manual and says nothing specific about Lake Stevens.

What OSU Extension says about moss on shingles

OSU Extension says moss can attach to asphalt and metal roofs as well, where it can lift shingles and allow water to reach the layers underneath. The same article adds that the moss itself does not directly damage roof materials. This comes from Oregon State and speaks for the Pacific Northwest, not for one city.
