Should 600-year-old oaks be cut down in Tacoma for a new storage facility?
On the side of a busy street in South Tacoma is a small stretch
of land surrounded by parking lots, storage facilities, warehouses and a
lumber-distribution yard. Next to a set of railroad tracks are 37 Garry
oak trees, some of which are thought to be between 400 and 600 years
old. The trees at 3802 S. 74th St. will be cut down if the city of
Tacoma approves the landowner’s permits to build a new self-storage
facility on the one-acre, triangular site. Becca Most reports. (Tacoma News Tribune)
