Because I live near the water, we've had a rash of people poisoning trees to improve their water views... in our area, you need a permit to do anything to native flora and our local council is very strict. If they find lopped or poisoned trees, they erect very sturdy banners in place of the lopping saying "these trees were poisoned to improve the view". Should I send Seattle's councils a copy of the regulations from here in the hope that it will inspire them to act before it's too late?
