The City of Lake Forest Park, WA, a small suburb just north of Seattle, has fined Zachary and Jennifer Downing $50,000 for illegally removing "old growth trees" and constructing a "terraced yard" without proper Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) permits. The EPA, a Federal Agency, contacted the City of Lake Forest Park in March to inform the City of illegal dealings with private property. The Downing's have not been available for comment. Just two months ago another resident was fined $35,000 for apparently removing a tree with similar heritage. City Council member Dana Evans stated, "while this fine is aggressive, it shows we will not allow citizens of this City to damage our ecosystem. We are a designated Tree City USA for a reason"
