The City is again offering free trees to residents to plant in their yards through the Trees For Neighborhoods Program which helps Seattle residents plant trees in their yards and along their streets.
Applications are accepted through 5pm today.

- Watering bags
- Training on proper planting and care
- Coupon for free Groco compost

- Trees can be planted anywhere in residential yards, but must be planted at the address on the application.
- Permits are required if planting street trees – reLeaf staff will coordinate acquiring permits. Receiving a permit is not guaranteed. No permit is required for yard trees.
- You must be present at the planting training to pick up your tree(s). All trees should be planted shortly after receiving them.
