As Dale says, that Doug Fir looks like a goner.

Not optimal, but not necessarily any sort of immediate death knell; are they boring numerous holes, or just tapping and then moving one? There
enough woodpeckers here that they are often spotted on a generally healthy tree investigating things, but they never spend too long there.
There are also some big cedars on my parents
land that are riddled with massive pileated woodpecker holes, the woodpeckers have nested in them some years. These trees have soldiered on in that condition, with increasing number of holes, for the last 28 years, and are still very much alive. Plenty of other trees lacking the woodpecker damage have come down in that period, dead and alive.
