What can I do about a neighbor's tree? Its leaves are falling on to my property; in fact, the whole tree is about to fall on to my property.

Washington case law has determined that in these instances, it's a civil matter between the neighbors involved. The City can step in only when it is one of our trees that has fallen onto neighboring private property. When that happens, the City will remove the fallen tree and repair any property damage that might occur.
