	    It's strange to be here. All the
	    trees you see will soon be removed to make way for oversized new homes. It
	    won't be the first time these woods have been clear-cut (old growth stumps
	    stand like ghosts,
	    some with large young
	    trees growing directly out of them). But before the
	    backhoes
	    come to chew it all up, Sarah and Nicole and six volunteers got in to transplant
	    2 truckloads of native plant species to
	    The Living Barge
	    at Duwamish Shipyard. When
	    we got home, Adria told us how she'd gone out in the morning and when she
	    came back a few hours later the building next door was smashed flat. I went
	    over with a hammer and nails hopeful there'd be enough to build a shanty
	    clubhouse for the evening but the whole thing was
	    madness--it
	    looked as if the house had been
	    put in a
	    blender.
