A street tree could also stand in someone\u2019s private yard if the branches extend over the sidewalk or street\u2014that makes it officially considered a \u201cstreet tree,\u201d too. Essentially, the trees in Ebrahimi\u2019s book aren\u2019t hidden away; they are very accessible for everyone to see, and often to do so from right up close on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p>Ebrahimi\u2019s approach to street trees is something we\u2019ve run across before in these stories about local history: a passionate person compiles and interprets data to create order and communicate a sense of place. \u201cStreet Trees of Seattle\u201d fits right in with the salesman who wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/2116651\/ramsey-document-washington-post-office-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">histories of every single post office<\/a> that ever existed in Washington, the artist who walks Seattle\u2019s sidewalks <a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3082008\/secret-seattle-explores-tiny-pieces-of-the-city-to-tell-a-big-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">searching out the esoteric and arcane<\/a>, and the family in Oregon now in its third generation of compiling <a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3108406\/oregon-family-century-stories-behind-names-of-towns-rivers-mountains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the origins of place<\/a> names in that state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feliks Update:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3957308\/cold-war-air-raid-siren-remains-private-hands\/\">Cold War air raid siren remains in private hands<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Best of all, the books and pamphlets that result from this approach aren\u2019t just data; they tell a story and give you a guide to search out and see things and learn things for yourself. With Ebrahimi\u2019s book, you\u2019ll encounter settlement patterns of Seattle neighborhoods, trends in landscaping from eras past, and the innumerable ways individuals have personalized their homes and gardens over the years.<\/p>\n<p>For example, said Ebrahimi, standing in a parking strip in northeast Seattle a few days ago, there\u2019s something about Seattle trees that most people don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of Seattle was clear cut\u201d in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century,&#8221; Ebrahimi said. \u201cAnd only 5% of our street trees are native to this region. So most of what you see everywhere is planted and brought from somewhere else, so many layers of history are behind the trees here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ebrahimi, who works full-time for a data visualization company, was inspired to create her book by her lifelong love of trees and the discovery of what she describes as a \u201cdata set\u201d created by the City of Seattle and dating back to the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I found the publicly available data set from the city,\u201d Ebrahimi said, describing information systematically compiled about Seattle\u2019s trees by city staff and volunteers over the past 70-plus years, \u201cit was fun finding out which ones were the widest trees and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the data, Ebrahimi could identify the locations of hundreds of interesting trees, including rare species, unusual species and exceptional examples of rare and common trees, such as the tallest or the widest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTallest\u201d is easy to understand, of course. But the notion of \u201cwidest,\u201d said Ebrahimi, needs a little explaining.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnytime I meet a tree person, the first thing they ask me is, \u2018What do you mean by widest?\u2019\u201d Ebrahimi explained. \u201cSome people measure a tree by the drip line, like the ends of each branch. Some people measure a tree by the circumference of its trunk, but the standard way, apparently, is to measure the diameter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you get the circumference, you calculate the diameter, and you have to do it from 4.5 feet up from the ground, and that is called \u2018Diameter at Breast Height,\u2019\u201d Ebrahimi continued. \u201cAnd 4.5 feet is the standard breast height, and there&#8217;s even an acronym: DBH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More NW History:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3955858\/historical-commission-hits-pause-on-razing-everetts-clark-park-gazebo\/\"> Historical commission hits pause on razing Everett\u2019s Clark Park gazebo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Standing near the giant Wedgwood Rock on 28<sup>th<\/sup> Avenue Northeast \u2013 which is a giant glacial erratic as big as a cottage \u2013 Ebrahimi pointed out what she describes as the \u201csecond widest Atlas Cedar in Council District Four.\u201d One of the quirks of the data set is that they are organized by council district \u2013 which is perhaps yet another reason to be sentimental about the good old \u201cat large\u201d city council years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can tell the Atlas Cedar by these short needles, and they&#8217;re in bushels along the branch,\u201d Ebrahimi said, looking closely at the likely half-century or older tree. \u201cYou see that? Instead of coming out of the branch. And I see some male cones here, but they usually have these upright kinds of round cones. And I don&#8217;t see any in this tree right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStreet Trees of Seattle\u201d isn\u2019t a catalog or a dry database printed out on paper. Ebrahimi has tracked down the backstories of a veritable forest of trees, and she\u2019s drawn sketches of many of them. The book could be read from cover to cover, or it could be used to take a particular walking tour of a particular area, or it could just be dipped into to read about one particular tree.<\/p>\n<p>On a whirlwind driving tour of northeast Seattle, Ebrahimi showed off the Atlas Cedar, and then a Monkey Puzzle Tree, and then a giant Oak Tree that overhangs an entire intersection. Down a little side street, Ebrahimi went in search of a Giant Sequoia she hadn\u2019t yet seen in person.<\/p>\n<p>To her surprise and delight, it turned out to be a Weeping Giant Sequoia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my God, it\u2019s so weird looking,\u201d Ebrahimi exclaimed as she pulled her car into a parking spot. \u201cIt&#8217;s right here,\u201d she continued, pointing. \u201cOh my God, it&#8217;s so cool. It looks like a Muppet!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no exaggeration to say that anticipation of Ebrahimi\u2019s book has been building in recent weeks with many radio, TV and print\/web stories. \u201cStreet Trees of Seattle\u201d seems to have arrived at just the right moment.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also no exaggeration to say that trees have been in the news a lot lately around here. The confusing Seattle City Council tree ordinance, people protesting to protect trees from construction projects, and the unfortunate removal of the old cherry trees at Pike Place Market last year are just a few of the recent stories. Stories about threatened trees clearly touch a nerve for many people around Seattle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All Over the Map: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3956084\/boeing-slogan-if-its-not-history-its-a-mystery\/\">Boeing slogan \u2013 if it\u2019s not history, it\u2019s a mystery<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ebrahimi says that from all that she can tell, people absolutely love trees in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>However, she also says we\u2019re not really seeing the big picture \u2013 maybe not seeing the \u201cforest\u201d of important issues related directly to trees and not focusing as much as we should on taking care of trees in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because they take care of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mental health well-being benefits that they found are really, really amazing,\u201d Ebrahimi said. They say that being within 320 feet of a tree gives you a better life expectancy and a lower chance of being prescribed antidepressants. And there are just so many studies about it; it&#8217;s overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trees take decades to mature and provide maximum benefits, such as the canopy of leaves that can help reduce air temperature in summer by as much as 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit, says Ebrahimi. Replacing one mature tree with several young trees doesn\u2019t provide the same benefit for years and years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you imagine all these benefits, we&#8217;re not calculating the cost of those benefits,\u201d Ebrahimi continued. \u201cWhen we&#8217;re thinking about trees, we&#8217;re thinking of them as these things that are easily replaceable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is why even the \u201csecond widest Atlas Cedar in Council District Four\u201d is worth getting to know and fully appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>The debut of \u201cStreet Trees of Seattle: An Illustrated Walking Guide\u201d will be celebrated with an author event on Wednesday, April 17 at 7:00 p.m. at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elliottbaybook.com\/events\/34771\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elliott Bay Book Company,<\/a> and a series of additional events featuring Ebrahimi that will take place over the next several months.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can hear Feliks Banel every Wednesday and Friday morning on Seattle\u2019s Morning News with Dave Ross and Colleen O\u2019Brien.
