Deborah Horne, KIRO 7 NewsSome North Seattle residents prevented two Douglas fir trees from being cut down but their fight is likely just beginning.
Neighbors in Seattle’s Maple Leaf neighborhood found out Friday that two Douglas fir trees were slated to be cut down.These residents acted while city offices are closed for the holiday weekend. In fact, that is why they believe the tree cutters were here because no city workers are on staff during the holiday.“I didn’t think I was sacrificing myself at the time,” said Julia Shettler.
She had come to this Maple Leaf neighborhood Saturday morning to record what neighbors feared was about to happen, the removal of two Douglas fir trees believed to be decades old. “As I was getting the video,” said Julia, “I was getting closer and closer to where the tree was. And I was standing under the canopy.”
Neighbors of this house on Northeast 98th Street say the property owner told them Friday that the trees would be cut down over the holiday weekend.
