AdmiralSherifParticipantThe owner of 3520 SW Admiral Way decided to remove several protected trees in the environmentally critical greenbelt region this past week, sometime between Monday night (June 21) and Wednesday. These were fully mature maples that had been here for 40-50 yrs. About 10 trees were lost. The police and seattle parks division have been notified. The owner of the property just listed their house on the MLS yesterday touting the new “Sweeping Views” which didn’t exist on Monday. The illegal cutting is disgusting and they simply left all the fallen trees in a hit and run chopping. Their new view to the northeast now opens up to downtown. I wish they would post a close up photo of the killed trees in their MLS listing so that folks know the cost of this. Interested parties that want to share their thoughts with the owner should stop by. 3520 Admiral Way. It appears the realtor is not with a well known agency. If anyone has further details about this please share.
All the views shown in their MLS listing did not exist prior to Monday. I hope the tree poachers get what they deserve:

HappyOnAlkiParticipantLooks like this got buried under all the garage sales — you might want to send a message to the editor for follow-up!

JeannieParticipantBump!

JeannieParticipantOh, and there’s an open house this weekend, in case anyone wants to check it out. Maybe ask about the trees? ;)

Junction JoeParticipantWe are looking for a view home in West Seattle. That seems like a great deal for that house. I will check out the open house this weekend.

anonymeParticipantI’m sure the owners are counting on the fact that they are not the only scumbags in town.
Admiral Sherif, I hope you got some photos.June 26, 2016 at 1:43 am #848884
JeannieParticipantI was being sarcastic about the open house. But, hmmmm I just might stop by and ask the Realtor why it was thought necessary to chop down healthy, mature trees. As the saying goes, “Trees ARE the view!”

anonymeParticipantJeannie, take some pictures! It would be interesting to hear what the realtor has to say. It’s not unreasonable to think they might be complicit in some way…

JanSParticipantand y’all know for a fact that they did this illegally, didn’t get a permit, etc. You’ve already checked that out…..right? You wouldn’t accuse someone without having all the facts…..right?

AdmiralSherifParticipantYes the Seattle Parks division came out twice and they were shaking their head at the mess. They have been working for years to restore the hillside vegetation up along the backside of admiral way.

JanSParticipantwell, then, throw the book at them, frankly….and the real estate agent, who might be complicit
