An excavator sits next to the trunk of a felled sequoia tree Wednesday as it is removed from Lions Park in Port Angeles. The tree was cut down Jan. 3 after city officials determined it was potentially dangerous and was doing damage to a nearby private home. Tree supporters protested its removal, naming the sequoia “Hope.”
