Puyallup Eligible For Discount Trees Through County Program

PUYALLUP, WA — Looking to add a little more green to your yard? Well, here's an opportunity to do it on the cheap — and help your community at the same time!

Pierce County Planning & Public Works has teamed up with the Pierce County Conservation District for a massive urban tree sale. The sale offers discounts to residents of Puyallup, Tacoma, and unincorporated Pierce County.

Organizers say they're hoping to put extra trees out in the community and not just to make it prettier: the trees will help catch rainwater and slow runoff, which Planning & Public Works says will clean the water and reduce the risk of flooding.

The Urban Tree Sale can be found at the Pierce County Conservation District's website here. The sale is limited to three trees per home. Options include the Pyramid Pine, Sourwood Tree, Evergreen Magnolia, Scarlet English Hawthorn, and Strawberry Tree, with some going as cheap as $10.

The only downside: you'll have to pick up the trees yourself at one of two pick-up dates in October.
