Four Anderson Park landmark trees were blown down in the same western direction by the eastern winds of the "bomb cyclone.".
This landmark fir crashed into the well pump station and snapped in half. Amazingly, it was the only park structure hit by a tree. Power lines down. No CERT volunteers present.
This park cottonwood fell in a western direction like all the rest. The large root
balls will be saved and used in rivers, streams, mitigation banks, for erosion control, soil preservation and salmon habitat. The city does a great job of installing them in Bear Creek, the Sammamish River. and their flood plains. These 70-year+ old trees are irreplaceable.
