Rain is not an interruption in this valley; it is the main sentence, and everything green here was written by it. Rain City Tree Works works with that rather than waiting it out — mowing between systems, keeping cuts frequent enough that a wet week cannot turn a lawn into a hayfield, lifting the sodden leaf mats that would smother the grass by January. Snoqualmie growth is generous and relentless, and a lawn kept on schedule through the wet months never gets away from anybody. A mower running on a gray morning with the fir tops dripping is a sound this town understands. The yard looks better for it the moment the sky finally opens.
