Corrugated leaves

Lake Stevens, WA(Zone 8a)

I passed this little street tree yesterday. I really liked the leaves and the ?catkins ?bracts. It looked to me like some kind of hornbeam. I am thinking this is a Carpinus japonica (Japanese Hornbeam). What do you think?

Looks like it to me.

Yes, that's an awesome tree Pistil. Are those spiked points on the leaves?

Pointy but not sharp or prickly.

Even better. I may not have even looked into Hornbeams if you hadn't posted this...this is what I would have missed out on. I love corrugated leaves. Thanks!
