People in Seattle have always cared about trees - we’re the Emerald City, after all.
One tree in the Wedgwood neighborhood has captured Seattle’s attention in recent weeks, enough for vigils, tree sitters, and protests at city council meetings.
KUOW Online Managing Editor Isolde Raftery is here to tell us more about Luma the tree, and those determined to keep it standing.
