The search is on for Yakima’s Community Christmas Tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of Yakima and the Downtown Association of Yakima (DAY) are asking area residents to consider donating a tree from their property for the annual holiday festivities in Downtown Yakima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To nominate your tree as the Community Christmas Tree, call Cally Price, the Assistant to the City Manager, at 509-575-6040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is anticipated that crews will arrive to remove the tree during the week of November 15th<\/sup>\u201319th<\/sup>, transporting it to Millennium Plaza for installation. DAY is working with the City of Yakima to coordinate the tree removal\/installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY is planning a tree-lighting ceremony for Sunday, December 5th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It needs be an evergreen, preferably 15 to 25 feet tall,” said John O’Rourke, Operations Manager for DAY. “It has to be in a location that we can access with a crane and get a truck to it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If property owners nominating a tree are unsure about its dimension or about access to it they can call O’Rourke at 509-952-8052.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selected tree will be removed at no cost to the owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
