The tree in the Wedgwood neighborhood is on a lot slated for new housing and can be cut down due to what some call a gap in the existing city code.
On the same day a red cedar tree was authorized to be chopped down by a developer in Seattle’s Wedgwood neighborhood, someone climbed it and set up a hammock Friday morning.
“This is not one person’s fight. There’s a whole backing of people who are doing really important work to make sure this tree is protected,” said Droplet. The initial plan was to remove the tree last week, but the city said the required paperwork wasn’t in order. A three-day public notice is now posted at the site.“Without the trees, it would be hot, it would be unpleasant, and it would just be kind of a nightmare,” said neighbor Hans Schiefer.
“The main point is that you know we can have trees like this and we can have growth in housing growth. It’s not one or the other,” said neighbor Judy Akalaitis.in the city with a trunk diameter of at least 2-and-a-half feet.
