Current Decision Regarding Ingraham High School in Seattle

December 2, 2010

It is with great sadness we report that the Ingraham Trees LUPA case in Superior Court was decided, the result being that the Ingraham Trees may be removed. We have until December 9, 2010 to appeal this decision to the Court of Appeals. We would greatly appreciate letters be sent to the following groups to express why the trees should remain. This includes educational value, filtration vaue for water and air and social value for the neighborhood and the City.

The following links will help to get our message out.

The Seattle City Council contact site:http://www.seattle.gov/council/councilcontact.htm

The Seattle School Board:http://www.seattleschools.org/area/board/contact.xml

The City of Seattle Department of Planning and Development:Diane Sugimura, Directormailto:Directordiane.sugimura@seattle.gov

And the Mayor's office:http://www.seattle.gov/mayor/contact.htm

At this point phone calls (all the phone numbers are at each of the above links) may be more effective than email, but either way the message is to save the Ingraham Northwest Grove. Move the addition to another place on campus. And request they be better stewards for our environment here in the Northwest.

Tell Your Friends.
