 A push by activists to save a large Douglas fir from being cut down in Seattle may have convinced a developer to spare the tree and redesign plans to build housing around it. The Douglas fir has been named Vita by those trying to protect it. The tree is at the edge of a property in the 1,000 block of South Cloverdale Street in South Park where eight townhomes are set to be built. Joelle King is one of the activists trying to save this tree.
