I would love make an official comment to the appropriate governmental agency on this matter.

You do not need to know your district number to call!

Very well researched. You are right young man. There was no ethical reason to remove 0ne tree anywhere in Edmonds. Not one. Yet here on the hill 5 corners area I notice there are many missing Very recently. I can see the grade school on 84th from 80th now. I have lived here33 years..first time. East on 216th. I can suddenly see almost to 76th car lights, cars..none of this was visible a few weeks ago...what's up do you think. I sure plan to find out...
