What Leschi calls typically look like
Leschi sits in Central Seattle and is characterized by steep west-facing slopes with mature firs and madrona above the lake. During Puget Sound windstorms — especially November through February — saturated soils and hard south winds combine to bring down big trees. Calls like “tree fell on my car” spike in these windows.
Insurance angle
Falling-tree damage to a vehicle typically goes through your auto comprehensive coverage, not homeowners. Open the auto claim first.
Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your Leschi property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.
