Autumn: "Also, go to LinuxFest Northwest", ending her SeaGL talk
Autumn: "Also, go to LinuxFest Northwest", ending her SeaGL talk
After finding this tree and exploring the remaining grove, I got this heavy mixed feeling I couldn鈥檛 shake. It was part joy, little sadness and real curiosity for where there could be more trees like this. For some curious reason, the tree that has caught my attention is the western redcedar or Thuja plicata to be fancy. Like many things named in the Pacific North West area, this is not a true cedar, regardless it holds a significant importance & value to all people for its rot-resistant properties. It was especially important to Indigenous people of the Pacific North West for its range of uses to make rope, baskets, clothing, rain hats, canoes, totem poles, and tools. These trees can live well over 1,000 years, reaching heights above 70m/230 ft and diameters beyond 7m/23聽ft. And after looking at a few of these old old growths, they seem to grow into their own personality shape over time!
Legend has it, this grove of trees was preserved by Park Ranger Harold J. Engles who apparently kept these trees a secret on maps and didn鈥檛 include them for planned timber sales. You can find these beautiful giants out by Glacier Peak, WA as the memorial trail named after Harold.
After this experience I got quite curious what other amazing trees could be out there. And just in case you too want to go on your own wild tree chase:

A view looking up at towering trees with thick trunks and sprawling branches. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a beautifully lit natural moment.
This one reminded me of an Octopus with large tentacle arms swooping down. A large, gnarled tree trunk with thick, textured bark, featuring numerous twisting branches and roots.
A lush forest scene featuring a large, towering tree surrounded by smaller trees and dense foliage. The ground is covered with pine needles and small plants, creating a serene, green old growth atmosphere.
A towering giant old growth tree stands amongst a grove of other tall, moss-covered trees. A plaque is visible on the largest tree's trunk in honor of park ranger who preserved these giants from harvest.

We filled up 11 boxes with freshly picked #GrannySmith #apples yesterday. Me, Hannah & 2 volunteers went out on a small pick(1 tree). An excellent harvest gleaning day - for Hannah's last day with LifeCycles.

I didn't take pics of it but a lot of people went to the street fair after (and technically during) so
well done food trucks and booth people

I am told that Kenmore turnout was also very good, very loud. I stayed at Bothell because of the rain (to be one more person after the crowds melted) so didn't see it firsthand. But my sources are good, so.
Gonna hit Lake Forest Park later, rain or no, I'll make that its own thread.
