I’m sure that they have all moved on by now, but I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to those who were involved in planting the avenue of gloriously colored trees we see each year on and around Gene Coulon Park and along Lake Washington Boulevard.

I have heard all of the arguments about how the trees in New England are natives while our maples are not. But there is no argument that we have a real wonderland on the shores of Lake Washington.
