Seattle Forest Week kicked off on Saturday, Nov. 7 at E.C. Hughes Playground in West Seattle, where Mayor Katie B. Wilson joined City of Seattle and community leaders to mark the start of planting season. The annual week-long event brings together hundreds of volunteers for more than 40 activities across the city focused on restoring and maintaining Seattle’s urban forest.
