Tree rebates and free trees in Washington

7 programs in Washington pay residents for trees. 1 list themselves as open now, and the median maximum is $210 per household.

Utilities, cities and state forestry agencies give away trees or rebate part of the price, mostly to add shade on the south and west sides of homes. Free-tree programs often deliver a young tree in a 5-gallon pot and ask you to plant and water it.
