...and because of it I couldn't be prouder to call Seattle home.
This stone "memorial" is on the Burke-Gilman Trail near my apartment. The only other stones on the trail like this are on Memorial Benches erected by families for their loved ones.
The text reads, after the 'Seattle Parks And Recreation' logo:
"In memory of seven trees: three silver poplars and four Douglas firs, approximately 70 feet in height, that were fatally damaged by illegal herbicide application in August 2008.
Whenever a tree is intentionally killed, the whole community feels its loss."
I mean come on, has your town ever erected a plaque commemorating murdered trees?!
