I am including part of a letter below I sent last night to Laurie Dunlap,
Superintendent For Seattle Parks and Recreation the Seattle Parks Department, Mayor Tim Burgess and both Jenny Durken and Cary Moon. See also below my signature line:[To addressees] This issue could be resolved by a swift phone call to Seattle Parks office, asking for a cease and desist order until a better plan can be implemented under a new administration. Our founders would never have moved to the northwest were it not for the beauty here. Yeah, they were also money-grubbers, unfortunately, which is what is happening now. Cutting healthy trees in our heritage parks for profit (obviously) is not our future. It is our past. And it needs to be our past. Thank you for taking this to heart. See the attached letter below my signature line.
Sincerely,
Suzan Rood Wilson

Hello Laurie:
Thank you for getting back to me recently about my concerns about Seattle’s forested lands.
I still have concerns which I will express here.
Our Seattle Parks Department has recently cut down 93 precious trees in Lincoln Park. While telling the environmentalist community that these trees had diseases that were rapidly spreading, they told the public nothing about any diseases spreading in the signs posted around the park. Someone I know who is knowledgeable about the fungi that were reportedly spreading rapidly through a grove of Grand Firs that were cut, has now examined the stumps and fallen wood, as well as the ground around the stumps. It turns out that none of the trees that reportedly were infected with 6 or 7 fungus species showed any evidence of those fungi. The fungi cited were: Ganoderma applanatum; Fomitopsis pinicola; Phellinus pini (a.k.a. Porodaedalea pini); Phaeolus schweinitzii (Dyer’s Polypore); laminated root rot (a.k.a. Phellinus weirii); and Cedar Laminated Root Rot; and Butt Rot (apparently all the same as Phellinus weirii).
The signs posted at the park also warned that the trees they wanted to cut posed a danger to the public. Or that the park was undergoing a “design process” that reflected “thorough” public input. Yet there had been no public meetings about this, in which the public asked for a new “design” of the forest, replacing the old trees with new ones. Nor did any of the trees which were cut pose a greater danger to people using the park than was posed by people crossing the street out on Fauntleroy. We were told that all would be fine because the Parks Department would plant at least two 2 year-old trees for each 100 to 300 year old tree which was cut. This does not equal out in the least. It is the same sort of deceptive spin that Weyerhaeuser gives the public, when they cut down 500 year old natural forests and replace them with unnatural mono-culture tree plantations. In actuality, nothing at all should have been taken down (no fungi) and nothing should have been planted. Nature knows better than any of us how and what to plant, when and where, and that there is no current shortage of wild and natural trees, shrubs and herbs that germinate and grow in this forest.
Also, most of the trees that have been cut so far were Grand Firs, a species which, in Seattle is only abundant in our unique Lincoln Park. Now, there is a big hole in what had been Lincoln Park’s unique Grand Fir-dominated tree top line. A couple of these healthy trees were over three feet in diameter and well over 100 feet tall. There are still taller and thicker Grand Firs that have not yet been cut. But these also had signs in front of them also, indicating that they were being slated for removal. Why would this be occurring, in the absence of disease or fungus?
It appears as well that even older, larger trees, larger than the biggest Grand Fir, including healthy Douglas firs, which are 300 to 500 years old, have also been targeted for removal. These could never be replaced with “two or more new trees.” There are tags on the Douglas firs for potential future removal, which may indeed happen if there is no sufficient response and outcry to the cutting of this first round of precious trees. I have noticed that there is now a neat pile of perfect Grand Fir timber, with no sign of fungus infection, in the materials yard due west of the north ball fields.
It is well known that the Department of Parks and Recreation has always been dominated by the ball park and recreation facility people. There has always been an obvious conflict of interest in their management of both our natural heritage lands and the recreation facility lands. I do not believe that any of the people in charge of the ball park department have ever shown much concern for our precious natural resources, nor have they demonstrated much knowledge about our precious unique local natural parks, where Seattlites, stressed by city life, go to renew their spirits in nature. Most people I have met who use the parks have no idea what has been happening, to remove healthy trees and to alter the natural development of the land. I have never heard of, met or seen anyone hired or retained in some way by DPR, any staff or anyone who has cared very much or knew very much about our local natural parks and their contents.
Five years ago, this same parks department was stopped by overwhelming public opposition to institute a plan to give over total control of five to nine of the best natural acres in Lincoln Park, with the intention to turn it into a “nature theme park,” run by the British Go Ape Corporation. The idea was to install a huge zipline and accompanying structures to allow people to climb into the trees and pretend they were apes for $55 dollars a turn and $35 for kids. That is simply egregious. It was merely a money-making venture, which would have injured the forest and sold out to a corporation to the destruction of our natural lands. This would have been unconscionable.
It is time to take a strong look at what is happening to our community, its natural sites, our trajectory as a city to maintain properly our amazing public lands. There needs to be a hierarchy of understanding, that nature cannot be made to take second place to ball parks and recreation facilities. Those can be replaced anytime. Our forests cannot. In my opinion we need to give priority to the management of our most valuable remaining public lands, our remaining relatively natural lands to a some kind of public natural heritage lands stewardship. This entity should have no conflict of interests or purpose. It should be headed by someone with a demonstrable life-long love of nature, and clear knowledge about our unique local natural community to hire staff that are best qualified to manage the stewardship of it.
I intend to forward this letter to our current mayor, our mayoral candidates, the city council members, and the West Seattle Blog. It is shortsighted to believe that we can maintain the beauty of the natural lands we have been gifted if we do not act now to bring in true naturalists and scientists who will correctly identify and work to ameliorate problems, with an eye on protecting and preserving the beauty, health and future of our lands. These lands will be destroyed in too short a time, if we do not act now. We have already seen how quickly climate change has worked to destroy our oceans. Our forests will follow too quickly.
Thank you for taking my concerns seriously.
Sincerely,
Suzan Rood Wilson
Now, I’m not bashing the USPS – I realize they have their jobs to do, and in weather, it can be difficult. Does anyone know what their rule is regarding placement of packages that they deliver? I was always under the impression that if they deliver a package to you that doesn’t fit in your mailbox, they are to place it at your front door if it is accessible. We live on a street with no sidewalk or parking, and have a locking mailbox at the bottom of our driveway. Our driveway is steep but easily accessible. Today, for the second time in a few weeks, I’ve found our packages just laying streetside at the foot of our mailbox. I doubt this is our usual carrier, as he’s always delivered them at the top of the driveway. Last year when this happened, I went to the Post Office to complain, but was told that the supervisor was (conveniently) unavailable. Can someone explain what it is our carriers should be doing in this situation? I’ve never been able to locate a phone number for our local West Seattle Post Office, and the one time I made an on-line complaint, it went completely unanswered…I shudder to think of the upcoming holiday season….
It’s happened twice now at Metropolitan Market. I have always found it distasteful for a cashier to ask me after a transaction if I would like my change. I find it unusually distasteful coming from cashiers at a grocery store. Is this the new normal that we are supposed to accept? Is my hard earned dollars and cents less worthy at some stores? If I were a business owner, would I want my business being represented as a change skimming storefront? Do they not reconcile the till at the end of their shift?
I find it appalling. Yes, I want my change, thank you.

We live on 47th ave sw in Fauntleroy, and we are wondering if anyone knows who owns a black male cat with a black collar and gold tag. I see him roaming all over the neighborhood, and am wondering if he is lost? He also is in our yard every day, attacking birds and our small female cat. We are thinking that he might be lost for awhile, as he is really aggressive with our cat, and is always looking for food. We have tried to catch him to get a look at the tag but no luck so far. We are worried for him, and also our cat as he has really hurt her several times.
