News Tree Murder!!!!!!!
posted by August 21 at 14:14 PM
onThe Seattle Parks Department and Seattle Police are on the hunt for a tree murderer after maintenance crews discovered seven poisoned trees near the Burke Gilman Trail in North Seattle
This week, Parks crews found that someone had drilled a series of holes into the trunks of seven 70-foot silver poplars and Douglas firs along the Burke Gilman near NE 77th St in the Sand Point neighborhood, and pumped the trees full of herbicide.
The damage is estimated between $40,000 to $60,000 and Seattle Parks spokeswoman Dewey Potter says the all seven trees will have to be removed.
Seattle Parks has asked SPD to investigate. If someone is caught, they could be charged with malicious mischief or for a “timber trespass,” the illegal cutting or damaging of trees.
The trees will have their revenge.

Is it seriously called a timber trespass? Sounds more fun than deterrant...
Ok, climb one of the trees and look around for the nearest homes. There are your suspects, get moving.
Find out who's view will be improved by the removal of the trees, and you will have the perpetrator.
Most likely a line of sight for the views created by the destruction of the trees will pin-point some window in a mega-mansion.
Civil law in Washington state allows for the collection of treble damages for "tree theft." I'm hoping that the destruction of trees to create a view could be counted in the same category as cutting someone else's tree because you want the wood.
It is at times like this that I ask, "what would the druids do?" (Answer, nail the bastard to the log and roll it down a hill.)
Kill everyone in the line of sight of the trees and bulldoze their homes.
Sow the soil with salt.
Smile, smugly, at a job well-done.
I wonder if a federal judge lives nearby?
@5: Kinda like the war on drugs. Sounds like a plan.
Is this anywhere near Ingraham H.S.?
hmmm...something to think about.
I think this happened on Capitol Hill, too. Asshat home owners.
All the obvious jokes have been taken. This does not sound like simple vandalism. This was a hit job for sure!
Replace the trees with a giant billboard. Aim it at the view house - for that is your culprit - and have it lit up all night.
Murderer of these
Can you hear those screaming trees?
I nearly lost you
Just put up the lit billboard and wait for the neighbors to rat the guy out.
Then take down the billboard and have the culprit pay to have the trees replaced with mature replacements.

i didn't know my neighbors had so much get up & go! yay view ridge! fuck those trees!
What, was I the only one who saw "The Happening"?
That does it!
You're all gonna die.
Nothing you can do about it.
You want homeless, I'll give you homeless!
SEVEN TREES ARE WORTH $60,000?
I'm in the wrong business.
