Water and Urban Trees

Seattle is surrounded by water and trees, both of which help to make our city one of the most livable and healthy places to be. We are also fortunate that the City owns two watersheds outside of Seattle that provide the majority of our high quality drinking water and good habitat for wildlife.

Our urban waterways and trees face many challenges in the city, and there is a lot we can all do to protect and care for them.
