All of the trees on the block next to Bothell Way N.E. and N.E. 183rd Street were removed Wednesday to make way for the Six Oaks development.

The trees once surrounded the old Northshore School District building and were a nesting place for the murder of crows that flock to Bothell during dusk.

MainStreet Property Group LLC recently broke ground for the construction of Six Oaks, a mixed-use 203-unit apartment building in downtown Bothell. This project is a part of the Downtown Revitalization Plan created by the city of Bothell.
