You've expressed concern regarding the safety of the tree and its proximity to your residence and back yard and to your neighbor's residence to the north. This risk assessment will evaluate the current condition of the tree and assign it a risk rating commensurate with my professional opinion of its potential to fail within three years of the date of this report. All documentation below should comply with the tree removal requirements set forth in Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC 23.10.010.) METHODOLOGY The methods used for this assessment are as outlined in Tree RiskAssessment by Julian Dunster and as adopted by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). The end goal of most assessments is to provide the owner or manager of the tree(s) with factual information, enabling them to make decisions about the management of the tree(s). For this particular assessment, I used a Level II Assessment that includes, if available, inspection of the root collar, lower trunk, upper limbs and canopy of the tree as can be seen from the ground. Basic assessment does not include climbing the tree or excavation of soils to inspect root structure or condition. (See attached tree risk assessment form and City of Shoreline tree form.) I visited the site on 9/18/24 and measured one (1) tree for its diameter at breast height (DBH), an industry standard of measuring trees at 4.5' above grade. Trees that were multi -stemmed or branched below the standard 4.5' point of measurement were measured in some other way and noted as such in the findings notes of the appropriate tree. (See attached photos and description.) A tree map was created that indicates the location of the assessed tree. (See attached tree map.) FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS The subject site is a flat .3 acre lot in an established residential neighborhood in Edmonds, WA. The tree in question grows along the north property line between the shed and the fence.

I1:10:111111:019 W_ 111 LTA I:1019 As per Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC 23.10.080) hazardous trees do not require replacement so this tree is therefore exempt from replacement. LIMITATIONS This report was based on the conditions of the trees and site at the time the report was written. Weather and site changes can alter the conditions at any time. Trees inherently pose a certain degree of hazard and risk from breakage, failure or other causes and conditions. Recommendations that are made by Laughing Trees Landscapes are intended to minimize or reduce hazardous conditions that may be associated with trees. However, there is and there can be no guarantee or certainty that efforts to correct unsafe conditions will prevent breakage or failure of the tree. Any recommendations made should reduce the risk of tree failure but they cannot eliminate such risk, especially in the event of a storm or any act of God. There can be no guarantee or certainty that all hazardous conditions will be detected.
