In it’s third year, the "Spring Tree" is back at Northwest 75th and 1st Northwest.

“Three years ago we were so sick of all the snow and cold so we decided to decorate this tree,” said Ballard resident Gail Gensler, who helped start the tradition.

Passersby are encouraged to "take something and leave something" from the tree.

It's been decorated with ribbons, toys, dog treats and candy, and many other things over the years. Gensler said it’s just a fun part of the neighborhood because you never know what you’ll find.
