Seattle was pretty warm over the weekend, but what did Washington look like when the climate was warmer? (Maybe even downright tropical?) On this OG episode of #MossbacksNW, Knute Berger explores the Burke Museum's #paleobotany collection to find out what the Evergreen State once looked like, and how these specimens might help scientists prepare for a warming climate. #fossils #Seattle https://www.kcts9.org/show/mossbacks-northwest/episode/when-palm-trees-thrived-in-the-pacific-northwest-txrime

The Pacific Northwest has had many symbols over the years. At one time, it was the tree stump: it represented change, hope, frustration, and pride. Settlers came to the Northwest and began lopping down the forests, but they were left with old-growth stumps. They did everything from dig them up to blow them up, and some were turned into houses, creating the regional phenomenon of the Stump House.
