Re: “Who cut down these public trees in King County? Lawsuit targets property owners” (June 28, Local weather Lab):
I’m not a “tree hugger,” nor do I put on Birkenstocks. I’m, nonetheless, appalled by the wanton destruction and removing of timber by some entitled people who deem it their proper to enhance their views and property values with out consideration for future ramifications for his or her neighbors and the setting.
If these individuals can afford to construct such estates, pay to destroy what has existed for many years, then why didn’t they purchase and construct elsewhere? And to the “arborists” who carried out this destruction, admit your contribution to this debacle.
