NW Land Management

About NW Land Management

West of the valley floor, the ground rises toward Kenmore, and on a clear winter day the tree line up there opens just enough to catch a glimpse of Lake Washington's north end past the rooftops. NW Land Management works the larger properties along that rise — the ones with more acreage, longer drives, and access roads that see plenty of runoff before they see any real snow. When a freeze does take hold hard enough for ice or snow to matter, the crew clears drives, access roads, and cleared land the same as any smaller yard, just at a bigger scale and with more ground to cover before the day's done. Downed limbs and brush get hauled off those properties too, since bigger lots mean more trees with more to shed under ice. It's steady, methodical work best done with an early start, since a long gravel drive doesn't clear itself twice. The rise toward Kenmore catches full sun late in the morning, and by then the properties on this crew's list are already open and passable end to end.
