I am saddened and disgusted by the way so many empty lots loose all their trees to development. Development is
inevitable, but we have a choice as to how to maintain the natural beauty which is what makes this place so special. The
natural surroundings are why we love living here. Cutting down every tree to build a house is criminal. Other Western
Washington communities have regulations that require home owners to save trees of a certain size. Why is this not a consideration here?, as people apply for building permits? The beauty of our neighborhoods is eroding. Native trees have taken decades to grow to size, are gone in a day. Wildlife is displaced. Private ownership should come with stewardship, these decisions affect us all.
