Record heat turned Washington's evergreen trees red
EVERETT — Last summer, it got too hot for Washington’s trees.
The needles of ubiquitous evergreens turned reddish hues.
No, our famous and much loved conifers weren’t showing off an out-of-character autumnal wardrobe. They got singed, quite literally, during last year’s historic heat wave, when temperatures in Snohomish County reached triple digits.
The damage was from something called “desiccation,” or the removal of moisture.
