KINGSTON — There are no suspects tied to the 16 Japanese Maple Trees cut down at Gordon Elementary.

The trees were cut down between noon, Dec. 27, and 9:58 a.m., Dec. 30.

On Jan. 6, the school and Gordon PTA were expected to discuss replacing the trees and adding security cameras around the school, said PTA President Marta Michalski.

“We’re going to come back strong as a school, and a community,” Michalski said.

The trees were planted by fifth grade students years ago. Each tree cost between $200-$400 according to a letter to parents from Gordon’s principal, Rachel Osborn.

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office was called Dec. 30 by a school employee regarding the felled trees. The trees were last seen standing Dec. 27, according to the sheriff report. A fir tree also had chop marks on it. There are no suspects in the case, according to the report.

News of the felled trees sparked outcry on the Gordon Elementary PTA Facebook page, where people questioned the mischievous act.

“It is so very, very sad,” Osborn wrote on the Facebook page Dec. 30.
