A massive red cedar tree in Seattle’s Wedgwood neighborhood remains standing Thursday morning as a home-building contractor scrambles to find another tree-service company willing to cut it down.
, an “exceptional tree” is “a tree or group of trees that because of its unique historical, ecological, or aesthetic value constitutes an important community resource, and is deemed as such by the Director according to standards promulgated by the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections.”The original tree-sitter named “Droplet” has been replaced by a woman in her 50s going by the name “Droplet-2”.
The contractor must find a new tree-cutting service by the end of the day Friday, or they lose their tree-cutting permit, and the whole process will have to start from scratch.
