Happenings

September is almost gone.
Trees are being pruned, leaves are turning color.
Summer hasn't left, but fall isn't far.

Ingraham has surfaced once more.
The School District has supplied a new "plan".
The Department of Planning and Development approved the plan.
Save the Trees-Seattle, once more appealed the decision.
An Attorney, Keith Scully of Gendler and Mann defended the trees. He questioned the Department of Planning and Developments decision to NOT have a comment period from the public on the School Districts "West compressed version".

The Hearing Examiner for the City of Seattle once more found the
Department of Planning and Development in error.

Again, the District must post signs, the Department of Planning and Development must allow a comment period from the public and then decide.

When Save the Trees- Seattle, finds out more details, they will be published here.

So stay in touch, more info will be on the way soon.
In this hot and cold saga of the District vx. Ingraham Trees.
