A new tree has been planted at the corner of NW Market St. and Ballard Ave. to replace the one that was mysteriously snapped in half last year. The In Ballard Merchants Association (IBMA) pulled the damaged tree out last summer, and just yesterday planted a new one in its place.

The original tree was dedicated in memory of Thomas R. Miller. The plaque just south of the tree says:
A long time political activist, Ballard arts lover, civic planner, restaurateur and humanitarian whose foresight, tenacity and commitment to community helped make Ballard a better place to work and play.
