Something is fishy with this deal with PSE, it's similar to the Eastside Low Barrier Men's shelter.  Stuff is happening behind the scenes at the city that doesn't necessarily make sense.  I am sure mowing down the trees makes the most financial sense for PSE so the city and PSE just need to outlast the community noise then they can fire up the chainsaws.  Replacing 100+ foot tall trees with 30-40 foot tall trees is not a fair trade.
