On Wednesday, Sept. 20, through Friday, Sept. 22, Bartlett Tree Experts will prune trees at Seattle Children’s hospital campus, Sand Point Learning Center and Seattle Children’s Magnuson Clinic. The work at the hospital campus will take place on Sept. 20, and the work at the other two sites will take place on Sept. 21 and Sept 22. Work includes pruning off large dead branches, pruning for light and building clearance, and removal of four failing willows. The work will be completed from within each property, with the exception of removal of dead branches from a large Leland cypress along NE 50th Street across from Sand Point Place NE. For that tree, there will be “no parking” signs placed along the road prior to the work to ensure safety and access, and the sidewalk below the tree will be closed for the duration of the work. Neighbors may hear noise from chainsaws and chippers between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. If you have questions, please contact Meghan Fuller, manager of Grounds Maintenance, at [email protected].
On Tuesday, Sept. 19, and Wednesday, Sept. 20, Pacific Topsoils will place mulch at the Seattle Children’s hospital campus east of the Ocean parking garage. The mulch will be placed using a blower truck, which will park on the west side of 45th Avenue NE. Although the truck will block the southbound travel lane, vehicles will still have room to drive past. The blower truck will generate noise, and the mulch will generate some odors. If conditions are dry, the mulch placement could also create some dust. This work will occur from 9 a.m. to approximately 4:30 p.m. If you have questions, please contact Meghan Fuller, manager of Grounds Maintenance, at [email protected].
On Thursday, Aug. 31, Bartlett Tree Experts will do some emergency tree work on 44th Ave NE along the eastern boundary of the hospital campus. Bartlett will remove two large branches on a crabapple tree that recently broke and are laying on the fence, as well as on neighboring trees and shrubs. The work is expected to take one to two hours and will start in the late morning or early afternoon. Neighbors may hear noise from chainsaws and chippers. If you have questions, please contact Meghan Fuller, manager of Grounds Maintenance, at [email protected].
On Monday, July 31, through Friday, Aug. 4, Bartlett Tree Experts will prune a number of trees throughout Seattle Children’s hospital campus. Work includes pruning for light, vehicle, pedestrian and building clearance; removal of dead limbs; failing or dead trees; and pruning to reduce weight on leaning trees. The majority of work will be completed from within campus, but some work will occur on trees along NE 45th Street, Sand Point Way, and NE 50th Street. Neighbors may hear noise from chainsaws and chippers between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The downhill (north) lane of NE 45th Street will be blocked for several hours the morning of Thursday, Aug. 3, with traffic management provided by Traffic Control Services.

Seattle Children’s has been recognized for the second consecutive year by Tree Campus Healthcare, an Arbor Day Foundation program that recognizes health institutions that make a community impact through tree planting, education and community engagement.
The distinction was awarded after Seattle Children’s developed a tree care plan, participated in a community forestry project, sponsored public awareness outreach and committed to financial investment in tree projects.
At Seattle Children’s, we know trees have proven health benefits and we’re proud to join healthcare facilities across the country who are leading the way to advance human health and wellness through participation in this program.
We are deeply grateful for the work done by our Grounds Maintenance team to manage our campus landscape and oversee this project.
