Capitol Christmas Tree 2006 PSA #3

Oregon provided the Capitol Christmas tree in 2002
Idaho in 2003
Virginia in 2004
Last year, New Mexico shipped a 80-foot Engelmann Spruce 1,816 miles to Washington D.C.

This year Washington State is giving the nations capitol a magnificent 45-year-old Pacific Silver fir that grew naturally on a steep bank above the headwaters of the Wynoochee River in the Olympic National Forest.

Happy Holidays! I’m Claire Turner with 4-H Network News. Our internet news site is video blogging this historic event from chainsaw to woodchips.

Governor Gregoire said in our digitally recorded interview on Nov. 6, that “we are sharing with the entire country one of the finest trees we have in Washington state so they can see just how gorgeous Washington state is…”
