The third tree

May 24, 2019

In the new Lindsey Baum memorial area, a sour gum tree has been planted. The old site went through two trees so hopefully this time the plant will have a chance to grow and thrive. The newly installed playground equipment can be seen in the background.

Next month will mark a decade since Lindsey was taken. That is ten years that her killer (or killers) have evaded justice for this crime. If you are carrying around information about this case that can make a difference please contact the Grays Harbor County Sheriff at (360) 249-3711. 

Now what?

Another one of the Summit Road trees along the park has been taken down as part of a plan to improve the playground area. From reading the City Council minutes it appears a new memorial will be placed for Lindsey Baum.
