Olympia Shocked by Unexplained Tree-Eating PlagueOlympia Shocked by Unexplained Tree-Eating Plague Olympia, WA: The once-tranquil city of Olympia has been gripped by a bizarre and inexplicable phenomenon: a tree-eating plague that is rapidly decimating its urban canopy. Over the past week, residents have witnessed with growing alarm as dozens of trees, both large and small, have suddenly withered and died. The trees, which had once adorned streets and parks with their verdant foliage, now stand as skeletal monuments to an unknown force. Investigators from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) have been stumped by the plague. Samples taken from infected trees show no signs of pathogens, pests, or environmental toxins. Scientists are baffled by the trees’ sudden and rapid decline. “We’ve never seen anything like this,” said Dr. Amelia Carter, a DNR botanist. “It’s as if something is consuming the trees from the inside out.” Concerned residents have taken to social media to express their dismay and share photos of the affected trees. The hashtag #TreePlagueOlympia has become a rallying cry for those demanding answers. “This is devastating for our city,” said Mayor Cheryl Selby. “Our trees provide shade, clean our air, and beautify our neighborhoods. We need to know what’s causing this and stop it before it destroys our entire canopy.” The DNR has launched an investigation into the plague and is working with other agencies to identify the source of the problem. Meanwhile, residents are advised to stay away from affected trees and report any new instances of tree death. As the investigation continues, the mystery surrounding the tree-eating plague in Olympia deepens. Residents anxiously await answers and hope that a solution can be found before it claims any more of the city’s beloved greenery.
