Tree Fell On My Driveway in West Seattle? We dispatch a local crew fast.

First steps — driveway incident
If there are cars under the tree, treat it as a tree-on-car situation and open the auto claim. If it's just blocking access, prioritize removal so you're not stranded during the next storm.
What West Seattle calls typically look like
West Seattle sits in West Seattle and is characterized by wind-exposed bluffs above Puget Sound and shallow-rooted firs on the slopes. 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 driveway” spike in these windows.
Insurance angle
Removal alone (no property damage) is typically an out-of-pocket cost. Damage to cars, garage, or fencing changes that — those trigger claims.
Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your West Seattle property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.
