Something In The Way.

Seattle's gone tree crazy and that's a good thing. The city is planting trees by the truckload and this will beautify the landscape and freshen the urban air. A neighbor of mine is a Seattle Tree Steward. She organizes mass tree plantings every few months, and over the past several years has planted hundreds and hundreds of trees.

These trees got screwed.

Instead of winding up next to a park, near a school or even in a simple planting strip, they are under the freeway. I've always wondered what it would've been like to be born into a life of extreme privelege. No need to ask these trees; they are arboreal crack babies. Hopefully what doesn't kill them will make them stronger.
