November 26, 2003 Mr. Larry Cram City of Everett, Str�eet Department 3200 Cedar St. Everett, WA 98201 Re: Trees - 3401 Grand Ave, Everett, WA Dear Mr. Cram: At your request, I have examined four trees two white pine, a Douglas fir and a Blue Spruce standing at 3401 Grand Avenue in Everett, Washington. The purpose of the examination was to determine the hazard rating of the subject trees and to suggest remedial action if appropriate. The trees were examined on November 26, 2003 by Tom Hanson. Tree detail is attached on the "Tree hazard Evaluation Forms". The pine trees and Douglas-fir are 40 or more years in age. Tree # 2 has a double trunk but the others are singles. All of these trees are in good condition. In particular the pines are not displaying the common indicators of white pine blister rust (red needles, heavy pitching, poor vigor) . The Douglas fir is in very good condition but appears to have uplifted the sidewalk (under repair at the time of my visit.) The root cutting required for the sidewalk appears shallow (under 12-inches) and I don't expect sign�cant affect to this tree. The Blue spruce is not a particularly long-lived speaes in this region and is subject to shoot boring insects, however there is no indication of decline or insect infestation. In my opinion these trees are healthy and in not in need of removal or other remedial action. The pines should be checked periodically for rust infection, the Douglas-fir for decline from the root cutting and the spruce for shoot borers and decline. There is no warranty suggested for any of the trees subject to this r�port. Weather, laterrt tree conditions, and future man-caused activities could cause physio/ogic changes and deteriorating t►�e condition. Over time, deteriorating tiee conditions may appear and there may be conditions, which aie not now visible which, could cause tree failure. This report or the verbal comments made at the site in no way warrant the structura/ stability or long terrn condition of any tree, but r�pr�sent my opinion based on the observations made. Neariy all tr�es in any condition standing wifhin reach of imprr�vements or human use areas r�present hazards that could /ead to damage or injury. Please call if I can be of further assistance.
