The flame ash street trees which line the arterial 35th Ave NE were planted between 1970 to 1972 under the City of Seattle’s first effort to plant street trees along arterials. Today all street tree work is done by Urban Forestry of the Seattle Department of Transportation. Here is the City of Seattle map of street trees.
