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.
