This really ought to be a poll, but there are just too many options.
To keep this interesting, please make sure your answer (1) grows in the wild here in WA, and (2) isn't a larch. We're coming into larch season, and people get really excited about them. I sure do.
You're allowed to list more than one.

I am partial to Populus tremuloides ( quaking aspen), Pinus ponderosa, Abies lasiocarpa (subalpine fir), and Pseudotsuga menziesii ( Douglas fir).
The last favorite is vanity in action, being due to my forester father and my mother naming their sons for David Douglas, the famous Scottish botanist. He was David, I am Doug, or Douglas to Mom when I was being bad.

Western Red cedar, Sitka spruce - especially when large. Subalpine for.
And any tree that’s old.

Alaska yellow-cedar, sitka spruce, mountain hemlock, pacific yew, snags and downed trees; all blow my skirt up. I love all though!

Love all our native trees. But I'm really attracted to Japanese maples.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.

Ponderosa! Black bark, then red. Directional color variations. Jigsaw puzzles. Pinched off tops. Oodles of crunchy cones. Mmmm.

Silver Fir has the coolest cones.
I love Douglas Fir because it is the tree I find most representative of Washington. It also comes with its own squirrel!

I love Sitka spruce, willows of all varieties, cottonwoods, big leaf maples, vine maples, and Western red cedar. Doug firs are great too!
I almost forgot madrona and ponderosa pines!
