Trees for Seattle, the umbrella program for the city of Seattle’s urban forestry efforts, kicked off about a decade ago, connecting residents with the trees around where they live, work and play. On the Tree Walks website, there are more than 70 printable PDF guides, complete with maps, photos of trees for easy identification, plus facts, stories and more. The Seattle Tree Walks mobile app, which launched in April 2020, features 40 routes, filterable for mileage and elevation.
As autumn arrives, Trees for Seattle offered route recommendations to highlight Seattle’s variety of foliage on city trees. Check out these six routes.
