A Seattle woman sits atop a 200-year-old red cedar tree that will be cut down to make way for six new affordable housing units, according to a report.
The activist, nicknamed Droplet 2, told “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH that her goal is to occupy the area and convince arborists to refuse to cut down the tree for the building developers.
“I wish the council would talk to the neighbors … talk to the tribes and say, ‘Look, we want affordable housing, and we need to keep some trees. And why can’t we all do that?’ Drop 2 said.
“We can’t really dig deep and have houses that are exactly the same houses that we’ve seen everywhere,” she continued. “We have to realize that we have to be creative. If we want to survive, we have to be creative. And it’s actually not harder, it’s funnier (sic). It’s much more fun to be creative than to do the same thing.”

The tree, dubbed “Luma,” sits on a vacant residential lot in the Wedgwood neighborhood, where Legacy Group Capital plans to build more affordable housing, according to the report.

Droplet 2 has support from other activists on the ground who sit in lawn chairs under the shade of the tree and help provide Droplet 2 with food, water and other supplies, the report said.

“If it’s a year, it’s a year. If it’s tomorrow, it’s tomorrow,” she said. “We’re also just guided by the Spirit of how long Luma needs us.”
