Plans have been filed to build on four adjacent lots in South Park’s downtown. With 26,900 square feet to work with, neighbors hoped the three evergreens sheltering and cooling the community could be included in the plan. Instead, every tree will be removed, and buildings will be spread far apart to the edges of the lot, with concrete paths in between. No large trees will be planted.

We are asking Seattle’s building department (SDCI) to ensure the future of South Park’s iconic downtown evergreens by making small design adjustments to this plan. Join us in standing up for South Park’s last downtown trees–and against Seattle’s failed tree policies.
