A section of a spruce tree in front of the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St., crashed to the ground in the early hours of Tuesday, prompting Regimental Tree Care to remove the entire tree Wednesday. The multiple trunks of the tree had formed a basket, which collected water and debris and caused the tree to rot; the extreme heat earlier this week may have been a factor too, said Regimental’s Rachael Cecil. “We’re sad that we lost a tree,” said Jefferson County Parks and Recreation Manager Matt Tyler, “but it had to be removed for the safety of the public and the building.” (Diane Urbani de la Paz/Peninsula Daily News)
