Activist sits 80-feet up in tree near Port Angeles
A Port Angeles activist remains perched roughly 80 feet up a grand fir tree near the Elwha watershed in protest of a state timber sale, according to officials.
The 25-year-old began the tree sit early May 8 to oppose the Washington Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Parched timber sale.
The site is located a few miles outside Port Angeles on state-managed lands.
The activist, who declined to be named, has tied their elevated platform to a blockade in a forest road. Authorities say the rigging is such that disturbing the blockade could cause the platform to fall.
On KIRO 7 News at 6:15 p.m, KIRO 7 News will be out at the tree and to talk to the man. How long does he expect to be up there? What will it take for him to come down?
