Tree Assassin on the Loose

Someone is intentionally killing trees along the Burke Gilman Trail. The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department says that someone has killed seven 70-foot-tall trees along the BG Trail near 77th Avenue. This person, while also having nefarious intentions for local greenery, apparently is obsessed with the number seven. The parks department believes the Tree Assassin is killing the trees by injecting herbicide into holes that have been drilled into the trunks. The trees that have been harmed are all over 30 years old and each worth between $40,000-$60,000.
