Police and firefighters are responding to Stewart Street and Third Avenue to trying to help a man who has apparently climbed a tree.

The man is in an 80-foot tall Sequoia tree in a street median by the downtown Macy’s. His condition was not immediately known.

Police have also sent negotiators to the scene. Police say the man is refusing to speak to officers and has thrown an apple at fire department medics.

Some streets in the area are closed due to the emergency response.

It's cute how you create all these threads about places that posters live in. It is good to know they are always on your mind.

You're so thoughtful.

SEATTLE - A man who spent about 25 hours perched atop an 80-foot tree in Downtown Seattle has come down safely.

The man climbed down just after 11:40 a.m., just over a day later than when he began his ascent that became a worldwide internet event.

As onlookers cheered and chanted "Man In Tree" - in deference to the Twitter hashtag by which he became known - he sat down near the base of the conifer and appeared to be chomping on a piece of fruit. Officers initially kept their distance, but soon approached the man, got him on a gurney and took him for a medical evaluation at Harborview Medical Center.

"We were very glad we were able to work with him and get him out safely," said Patrick Michaud with Seattle Police.
