Tree huggers, rejoice: the Seattle Hearing Examiner has declared the grove of trees at Ingraham High School a “rare plant habitat.”

This will likely put an end to the school district’s plan to remove the trees to build additional classrooms on the campus.

Because of the classroom shortage at Ingraham, the school district is now considering a plan to conduct future classes in treehouses on the campus.

  1. @1, the Hearing Examiner is an independent examiner appointed by the City Council. The School District’s only play is to try appealing to Superior Court.

    But remember, the School District can’t fire Superior Court judges either.

    In case you were wondering about that too.
