WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU CUT
Tree Removal in Carnation, Wa
While the City of Carnation prides itself on its lush, green canopy, there are specific regulations homeowners and businesses must follow to remain in compliance with city code. At Western Washington Tree Service, we help you navigate these local ordinances to ensure your project is legal and safe.
Is Your Tree "Significant"?
In Carnation, most tree removals require a permit if the tree is considered "Significant." According to city standards, a tree is significant if:
Evergreens & Deciduous: It has a diameter of 6 inches or greater (measured at 4.5 feet above the ground).
Multi-stemmed Trees: At least one stem is 4 inches or greater in diameter.

Key Regulations & Requirements
Unlike neighboring cities that use a simple "lot size" allotment, Carnation focuses on preservation and replacement:
The Replacement Rule: Generally, for every significant tree removed, the city requires a 1:1 replacement. You’ll need to plant a new tree on your property to maintain the local canopy.
Critical Areas: If your tree is located near a steep slope, wetland, or the Snoqualmie/Tolt River buffers, additional environmental reviews are required.
Hazardous Trees: If a tree poses an immediate risk to your home or power lines, it can often be removed quickly, but the city typically requires a Certified Arborist’s Tree Risk Assessment to waive standard waiting periods.
