Plan begins to replace failing street trees in Everett

EVERETT — Dozens of trees towering 70 and 80 feet in the middle of Colby Avenue give the road a stately look in north Everett.

There were 76 trees when the city had two studies done in 2019. Today, 68 still stand.

Everett’s parks department has a plan to replant a tree for each that comes down, whether by storms or because of their health. Its first dip into that one-for-one swap is a demonstration planting scheduled Wednesday and Thursday on the south half of the median at 17th Street.

“We’re not taking the trees down, we’re simply replacing them as they fail,” assistant parks director Kimberly Moore said.
