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.
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!
