Join us to honor four of Greenwood’s largest cedars being removed for profits and convenience.

‍

The Phinney-Greenwood community is at risk of losing four historic trees. These trees were meticulously cared for by Bill Dyment for 80 years. Now, they are being thoughtlessly removed.

Stand Up for Seattle's Trees

The City is close to approving the removal of these historic, healthy Western red cedars for a development project. Decades ago, the Dayton Cedars were transplanted from Snoqualmie Pass, and were lovingly cared for by the late Bill Dyment until his death. They are not only a living legacy for the community, they provide irreplaceable benefits: clean air, cooling Greenwood’s growing heat island, and offering beauty and history that no replacement planting can replicate.

Our Ask

New housing can coexist with these trees. An architect has already demonstrated ways to retain all four cedars while building the same amount of housing currently proposed.

Seattle doesn’t need to lose its history or its trees while making space for new neighbors. Please join us in asking the developer to save the Dayton Cedars.
