Planting cherry trees on Capitol Hill, Seattle, April 13, 1982
Order an ImageIn the spring of 1982, residents of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood turned out to plant some 250 cherry trees paid for by federal block grant money. Residents chose Bing cherries for their food value and because their foliage matched the area's brick gutters.
Here, landscape contractor Henry Zinser helps Capitol Hill resident Carol Baldwin plant a Bing cherry tree on East Harrison Street, between 18th and 19th Avenues.
