This Sunday from 8 am to 12:30, volunteers will be planting up to 100 trees along South Columbian Way near the VA Medical Center.
Currently this stretch of road is somewhat barren and the addition of these trees will make the street much greener and more friendly for taking a stroll.
The new trees will be planted on South Columbian Way from South Oregon Street to Beacon Avenue South and adjacent streets. They will “green” the neighborhood, helping to transform this well-traveled corridor into a pedestrian and bike-friendly boulevard. The trees to be planted include nine different species to reflect the diversity of Seattle’s population and many diverse countries involved in similar events on this important date. The effort will supplement SDOT’s paving project on Columbian Way that is now nearing completion.
