QA Boulevard to get new trees
By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor
The Seattle Parks Department has developed a plan to replace 24 trees that were removed from the historic Queen Anne Boulevard last fall.
The trees, including chestnuts, maples and birches, were cut down after a parks department arborist determined last sum-

mer that they could not be saved because they were diseased, dying or, in some cases, already dead.
Kevin Bergsrud, Parks and Recreation Department senior specialist with the planning and development division, updated the Queen Anne Community Council last week about the efforts to replace the trees on Queen Anne Boulevard. Following the trees’ removal last October and No-
vember, a certified arborist and a consultant partnered to identify suitable tree replacements using a list adopted in 2012 as a guide.
Certified arborist Nicholas Johnson said in the presentation that when it came to selecting the replacement trees, in some cases they had to deviate from the 2012 list because they were no longer suitable.
“There’s a lot of complexity to
figuring out what would be appropriate, where,” Johnson said.
In some instances, Johnson and the consultant agreed replanting with the recommended tree was impossible because they would not have survived.
“We found a lot of diseases in a lot of the trees [removed] that would prohibit planting a lot of

Start of a new school year
Experience gained during pandemic will benefit SPU
By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor
With athletes and residence student staff already settled in and the majority of students arriving today, Seattle Pacific University’s campus is showing the signs of life largely absent during the past year and a half.
With the start of fall quarter of the 2021-22 beginning Monday, SPU will resume operations largely resembling pre-pandemic years, although strict safety measures, Jeff Jordan, vice president of student life, said.
Most exciting, Jordan said, is the return of in-person classes and campus operations, rather than the mostly online or hybrid model employed the last year and a half.
Not that operating during the pandemic hasn’t taught SPU staff and administrators some valuable lessons, however.
“I think one of the things we’ve learned is the importance of being together,” Jordan said, adding hearing each other’s voices in person rather than Zoom and being able to work collaboratively in the same room has made a difference.
Jordan is also reassured that, should SPU have to shift its operations again to reflect a change
While residents were more frequently seen enjoying Seattle Pacific University’s campus during the 2020-21 school year, it will be business as usual when the 2021-22 school year kicks off, Monday.
in the pandemic, leadership and staff would be able to adjust to the circumstances.
“Whenever you have to learn something, it’s helpful somewhere along the line,” he said, adding should SPU have to return to remote learning again, staff now has a better idea of what works and what doesn’t. “The good news is we have some practice in it.”
SPU is still following some
practices put in place during the pandemic.
For example, residence halls will not be as populated this year, and there will be no more than two students to a room. This is similar to how SPU structured living arrangements when only a few students were living on campus in the midst of the pandemic.
As well, at least for the time being, everyone will be required
to wear masks and maintain social distancing, Jordan said.
The biggest addition to ensure student safety, however, centers around vaccines.
SPU, along with many other universities in the state and country, is requiring students be vaccinated in order to attend college. Staff are required to be vaccinated,

What’s up with hydrangeas?
Hydrangeas are in-yourface, bold and bodacious. With blooms as big as your hand, or in the case of “Incrediball,” a dinner plate, some people find them just too much. I think they can be wonderful. Growing up with near-indigo blue mopheads at my grandmother’s cottage sowed a lasting soft spot in my heart for them.
In a long row flanking a fence, they make a regal statement. Overflowing a mixed border, their coarse leaves are the perfect counterpoint to blades of airy ornamental grasses or even tight-knit evergreen shrubs. I’ve seen a green-and-white garden of frothy white hydrangeas and cream-striped grasses that is as refreshing in summer as a frozen drink. You can evergreen carex or liriope and some spring blooming bulbs at a hydrangea’s feet to boost winter color after its leaves are gone.

rophylla, so-called bigleaf or mophead; H. serrata, mountain or lacecap; H. arborescens, smooth; H. paniculata, panicle or Pee Gee, the ones you see pruned up as “trees” sometimes; and H. quercifolia, oakleaf, which offers gorgeous fall color. Most prefer some shade from the hot afternoon sun. Of these, the paniculatas and arborescens are the most heat- and sun-tolerant. All like consistently moist soil, especially in sunny spots. It’s literally in the name — in Greek, hydrangea means “water vessel.”
With so many more varieties available today, making a choice can be bewildering. There are five main species sold — H. mac-
And then there’s the pruning confusion, and the fact that certain hydrangeas change their flower colors based on the soil conditions. But don’t throw in the trowel yet. Here’s my version of a handy-dandy selection tool: Hot sun: Is your garden site south or west facing? Choose a variety of Hydrangea paniculata or H.arborescens.

Do you want the flowers to be white, fading to tan, not pink? Choose H. arborescens like ‘Incrediball’ and ‘Annabelle’ or H p. ‘Limelight’ and its spinoffs. Most paniculatas morph to an oftenspectacular raspberry in fall.
Do you want pink — the faster the better? H. p. ‘Quick Fire’ and ‘Little Quick Fire’ go pink early.

How do memory cards work?
Memory cards can help us store all kinds of information — from pictures to songs to videos.
While some of the early computers were as big as two refrigerators, they had only enough memory to store what would today be a single photo. Now, we can store thousands of photos on a memory card the size of a fingernail.
One device that changed the way we could store information was the super-tiny transistor. My friend Ganapati Bhat, an assistant professor at Washington State University, told me more about it.
A transistor is about 2,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair. You can think of it as an electrical switch inside the memory card.
Transistors help the memory card determine if an electrical current should “stop” or “go” along the circuit board — and there can be billions of these transistors on a memory card.
When you look at a memory card, you may also notice it has several shiny terminals at the top. Some of those terminals help bring power into the memory card from your device. Others help the memory card communicate with your device in a language called binary.
The language has just two symbols: 1 and 0. The 1 and 0 are known as bits. When enough bits come together, we call them bytes.
In computer language, a “0” means “off,” so the transistor will stop the flow of electricity.
A “1” means “on,” and the tiny transistor keeps the electricity flowing.
If we wanted to store the word “hello!” on the memory chip, it would require this binary code:
01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100001. Each letter of the alphabet has its own set code in binary and it is known as ASCII (American Standard Code
dank shade on the north side of a fence under a rose arbor, and they bloom buckets — just further apart.
Are you a control freak about blossom color? If yes, skip blue- or pink-flowering types, which can do a wardrobe change once they are planted in your home soil. A single plant, even a single blossom, can turn multicolored as the plant and the soil get to know each other! Acidic pH = bluer. Alkaline pH = pinker.
Yes, you can change the soil with yearly applications of either Aluminum sulphate or agricultural Lime. If that’s not you, stick to
for Information Interchange) encoding. Even numbers have their own code.
Meanwhile, your device uses software to translate the binary language, so all those ones and zeroes show up in the form of photos, music or the phrase “hello.”
In fact, most computers store data this way, but some devices can’t store it forever. As soon as you turn off the device, the data is lost. Scientists and engineers who wanted to come up with a way to store data for longer amounts of time designed something called a flash transistor.
A typical transistor has a part called a source, which is where the electrical current comes into the transistor. The current leaves the transistor through a part called the drain.
white-flowering bigleafs ‘Madame Emile Moulliere’ or ‘Onyx Zebra’, arborescens like ‘Incrediball’, or a lime paniculata like ‘Little Lime’, depending on your sun exposure.
All:
Will you — and any members of the house with lopper access — pay attention to pruning at the right time? If not — for whatever reason, no judgement — look for a paniculata or arborescens, which bloom only on “new wood” or this season’s growth.
They’re the most forgiving of pruning, because if they have time to grow a new branch this season, it can flower. Varieties and species that bloom on old, or both old and new, should only be pruned right after flowering, according to plant brand Proven Winners, or you risk lopping next year’s bouquets.
Proven Winners has a chart showing its varieties’ specs here: https://www.provenwinners.com/ Hydrangea-Chart.
Are you gardening in a smaller space or in containers? In sun, try H. paniculata ‘Bobo’ or ‘Little Quick Fire’, or in shade, ‘Let’s Dance Rave’.
Do you want to feed bees and pollinators? Look to H. paniculata, arborescens, and serrata types (panicle, smooth and lacecap), which have plenty of fertile flowers to fuel up the pollinators.
Do you crave fall interest? Check out the white-to-red flowers on many panicle hydrangeas or the showy burgundy leaves of the oakleaf hydrangeas (H. quercifolia).
Sandwiched between the source and drain is a part called the gate.
But flash transistors in a memory card have two gates. Some of the electricity sneaks up from the bottom gate into the top gate stays there. It sort of traps the electricity, so the memory card can continue to store information, even when it isn’t inserted into your device.
Over the years, humans have figured out how to put a lot of information into tiny storage devices. It’s something to think about the next time you text a friend a picture, listen to your favorite song or upload a school project on a flash drive.
Sincerely, Dr. Universe
Residents invited to participate in Parks and Recreation strategic plan open house
Seattle Parks and Recreation is requesting public participation as it implements its 2020-32 strategic plan. Input will help SPR identify critical needs and priorities as it plans for the next three years and beyond. Residents should the visit Seattle Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan Implementation online open house at https://sprstrategicplan.infocommunity.org/ to participate.
The purpose of this online open house is to seek community input to inform SPR’s plans for pandemic and economic recovery, responding to climate change and supporting racial equity. Staff want to learn more about what people want to see in their parks, open spaces and community centers in the coming years.
“Our charge as public servants and stewards of this incredible system is to ensure we’re serving our community, especially those with the greatest needs,” Seattle Parks and Recreation Superintendent Jesús Aguirre said in a press release. “We can only do that if we have a clear vision for our work, if we’re engaged in authentic and open dialogue with our constituents, and if we are able to articulate our plans for meeting the needs of community. To accomplish this, we need to create an implementation plan that directs the adaptation of our programs, services and amenities to aid in our city’s recovery and meet the needs of our changing city.”
In March 2020, after extensive public input, SPR released an updated strategic plan to guide programming, services and investments from 2020-32. Guided by a new Pathway to Equity, a road map for SPR to play its part in ending institutional and structural racism in Seattle, the plan identified 40 strategies to advance our collective vision.
These strategies support a vision of promoting healthy people, a healthy environment and a strong communities while pursuing racial equity and organizational excellence.
This engagement effort to support strategic plan implementation will also inform the next six-year cycle of the voter-approved Seattle Park District, which was put on hold during the pandemic. The Seattle Park District is a sustainable funding source to repair, maintain and restore basic services at the city’s parks, community centers and regional attractions, and provides about 20 percent of SPR’s funding, according to the SPR press release. Originally planned for 2021-26, the next Park District funding cycle will now span 2023-28. SPR will resume this financial planning process in early 2022.

With that requirement, however, comes a lot of work. Jordan said administrators will have to track whether students have provided proof of vaccination — or their exemptions for religious and medical reasons — by the first day.
“We’re most concerned about the students who have not responded at all,” he said, adding it will be up to administrators to determine how to monitor and enforce proof of vaccination.
While keeping track of vaccination records is a trial, Jordan does not think the vaccination requirements will drastically affect enrollment numbers.
Although it is still too soon to say for sure, Jordan said, students were still enrolling for school as recently as mid-summer, which is normally a time where those numbers would remain flat.
“At same time in 2018, we would not be expecting it to tick up,” Jordan said.
Another exciting prospect for the future SPU is exploring new ways to do things.
While in-person classes are now the focus again, Jordan said some staff members are considering whether their programs might be enhanced by incorporating more virtual learning.
“We’re looking at some specialized things,” Jordan said.
During the pandemic, a few faculty members established a global teaching partnership with

faculty of the same program in a different country, where the classes were co-taught and the students completed a tangible project together remotely.
“We started it this past year as a way to mitigate students not doing study abroad,” Jordan said.
Now, more faculty members are training to do this.
“It’s probably not the same as going to Morocco … but this is a way to do global learning and to have people in both classrooms working together and have students working together,” Jordan said. “There might be some real options for the future for some students who may not be able to travel.”
Jordan said, all things considered, he is very proud of how SPU faculty banded together during the pandemic and collaborated to solve problems and keep the university running.
“We’ve kind of had to think about what’s most important to us and reprioritize some things,” Jordan said. “COVID forced us to do this to some degree, and we’ve had some really good conversations.”

This tree on Queen Anne Boulevard was one of 24 removed at the order of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department because it was either diseased or dying. New trees will be planted this fall.
those trees on the group list,” Johnson said. “They would kill them or make it incredibly hard for the new trees to get established.”
Of the 24 trees removed, nine will be replaced with trees identified on the 2012 list, while 15 will be replaced with new trees altogether.
Johnson said climate change — hotter and dryer summers — is a major contributing factor.
“We’ve just been having summers that are a lot dryer and hotter than the trees here are used to,” Johnson said, adding that, at the same time, that climate change is allowing diseases or pathogens that would otherwise not be a problem to survive and attack trees or contaminate soil.
In one case, a ginkgo biloba tree will be planted instead of the originally recommended sweetgum because the ginkgo is drought and heat resistant.
In another location, an apple serviceberry tree will be planted instead of a black birch because birches have been ravaged by bronze birch borers in the Puget Sound. Plus birches are not drought tolerant and do not adapt well under power lines.
In five locations, Oregon oak will be planted instead of the recommended maple trees because the maples are susceptible to several pathogens, including “sooty bark,” which was found in the soil where the original trees were removed last year. The Oregon oaks, on the other hand, are drought
tolerant and will provide a solid canopy.
“They are quite a bit tougher and resistant to heat and drought stress than the maples are,” Johnson said.
Lastly, dawn redwoods will be planted where eight dead or dying Chinese Chestnuts were removed last year. Initially, the chestnuts were supposed to be replaced with scarlet oaks.
Johnson explained, while oaks were the best option for planting in other locations along the boulevard, they were not ideal for the remaining eight sites.
The trees removed from those sites last year all had root decay caused by Kretzchmaria duesta, an aggressive organism that attacks deciduous hardwood trees like Chinese chestnuts and scarlet oaks.
“So, any hardwood tree we would replace in that area would likely be susceptible to getting that disease,” Johnson said.
While dawn redwoods do not look like scarlet oaks, they won’t be targeted by Kretzchmaria duesta because they are softwood.
“In some of the zones, we have diseases that act only on maples, so an oak tree would be a suitable replacement at that site,” Johnson explained. “In another zone, the oak trees are being attacked by a disease that prefers deciduous hardwood trees, so in those areas they’ll be replaced with softwood.
“So we’re increasing some of the diversity of the trees to decrease their likelihood of succumbing to some of the diseases found in that zone.”
Unfortunately, Johnson noted, the trees that will be planted in the coming months won’t reach maturity for many years, and could take 60 to 80 years to reach the same stature as those removed.
The city will be watering and maintaining the newly planted trees, however, Johnson said.
“We’re being very aggressive about our practices while establishing newly planted trees,” Johnson said. “It’s getting harder to establish trees, so we’re planting fewer trees, and we’re spending more time watering and caring for them.”
Queen Anne Community Council Parks Committee Chairperson Don Harper said he was pleased with the final report presented at the meeting as it demonstrates the parks department team members responsible did the best they could.
“This is all sort of uncharted territory,” Harper said. “This is a new problem. They’re on the cutting edge of trying to find trees that will grow and not be affected by the changing climate and not allow these new bugs to exist here.”
Because Queen Anne Boulevard is a designated historic location, the city’s Landmarks board must approve the changes to the tree replacement list. After that, Johnson can source and then purchase those trees and hire a team to plant them. It is possible he can move forward with the purchasing and planting of the replacement trees the Landmarks board already approved, Bergsrud said.
