New Issaquah tree codes

Published 4:18 pm Friday, May 1, 2009

The Issaquah City Council recently adopted revamped tree preservation codes.

The council’s approval marks the culmination of a multi-year effort toward enhancing the city’s tree protection efforts.

In general, the new codes revise how many trees can be removed from single-family, multi-family and commercial properties.

The amendments also define what “significant,” “landmark” and “protected” trees are.

The city is also creating a “tree removal form” to guide property owners through its new application process.
