Who remembers when trees grew wild throughout the Pacific Northwest? To honor its evergreen past, Seattle moved a 30-foot-tall Sequoia (now 90 feet) 🌲 to a downtown triangle park from Aurora Avenue back in 1973.
Standing with your back to the Giant Sequoia 🌲 you face one wall of a triangular building between Stewart St and Olive Way. How many windows are there on each story of that wall?
Did you know that Seattle’s Giant Sequoia🌲 made headlines in 2016, thanks to the #ManInTree incident? Dressed in khakis, a checkered hoodie, and red beanie hat, he climbed to the top of the tree and started throwing things at passersby. City officials eventually convinced the man to climb down.
While scaling the branches might sound like an adventure, let’s be clear: Don’t climb the tree!
