SEATTLE, March 7, 2023 – A citizen-led action has halted the removal of the iconic cherry trees at the entrance to Pike Place Market. The tree removal is part of a new waterfront project that will open in phases from now through 2025. According to Waterfront Seattle, the cherry trees are nearing the end of their normal lifespan, but community members disagree. The trees were planted in 1980 and opponents of the removal say the cherry trees are symbolic.
