I can’t remember a time in Eastsound that was more forest-clearing and construction-y than right now. Walk a 20-minute circumference around the town and you’ll see a lot of change. Go hug your favorite tree today; it might be gone tomorrow.
This was thick forest 
Now it’s cleared for housing 
Now you can see clear to the high school field and Buck Mountain 
This was all forest too 
Another clearing just down the street 
Watching a little road become an established street 
Down the street a few more paces 
This had always been a thick tangle of brambles and pear trees 
A public school addition 
A track is going in 
A mysterious black box 
This trail to the airport used to be thick forest on both sides 
Thick forest gave way to a haven for identical septuplets plus more coming
