According to Woodway Mayor Mike Quinn, Olympic Water and Sewer District recently approached the Town with concerns about the condition of a substantial number of trees on their property in the Deer Creek Watershed.

"After several site visits, we have confirmed that 96 trees of various sizes present a hazard to Olympic View’s building and infrastructure." 

There also are trees along N Deer Drive that need to be removed. These trees mainly consist of alders that are at or past their life expectancy – most with a severe lean or broken tops.

Olympic View submitted a tree permit application, which was approved in accordance with the Woodway Municipal Code. They will now begin removing the trees.
