ISA Certified Arborists and ISA Qualifed Tree Risk Assessors are available to help with your Federal Way tree care needs. Common issues arborists can help with are:
Any proposed removal of trees and vegetation requires approval by the City of Federal Way unless exempted under Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.120.030. Many non-exempt activities do not require a permit application, only written approval by the city. A permit application, including preparation of a Tree and Vegetation Retention Plan by a qualified expert, may be required in the following instances: a. Tree or vegetation removal within an environmentally sensitive area (reference FWRC 19.145.010 et seq.). b. Removal of trees or vegetation that was required to be retained by or through any development permit. c. Tree and vegetation removal that will change the points where stormwater or groundwater enters or exits the subject property or changes the quality, or velocity of stormwater or groundwater.
If you are unsure as to whether the trees and vegetation you wish to remove requires either written approval by the city or a permit application, you should consult with the Permit Center permitcenter@cityoffederalway.com prior to conducting any tree or vegetation removal activity.

Many tree removals are delayed or denied because size thresholds, location rules, or replacement requirements were misinterpreted. An arborist review ensures your application is accurate, defensible, and aligned with municipal tree protection standards.
