If you rather rent a Christmas tree, visit the Northwest Stream Center in Everett:

Drop-Off: Sat., January 2nd, from 8am – 4pm or Monday-Friday, January 4th to 8th, from 8am – 4pm
Cost: $20 plus a $10 deposit (refundable by check if tree is returned)
Where: 600 128th Street SE, Everett, WA at the Northwest Stream Center. From I-5 North or South, take Exit 186 (128th Street SE). Go east on 128th for ½ mile, and turn right into McCollum Park. Proceed to the far south end of the park to the NW Stream Center (2-story gray building with blue trim).
Why? Live tree rental is less expensive on your pocketbook and the environment. Rent a live tree for the holiday and return it to the Adopt-A-Stream Foundation who will plant it on the bank of a local creek. Your rental money will buy you a membership at the Adopt-A-Stream Foundation and help fund stream restoration projects.
What: 5’-6’ Western Red Cedars 3’-4’ Shore Pines 3’-4’ Douglas Firs 2’-3’ Sitka Spruce
