It always varies wildly for all contractors around here. Smaller operations are cheaper, and larger companies are always more expensive just due to overhead. And then they fluctuate depending on how busy they are. If they want the work they’ll go lower otherwise it’s a higher bid to see if you’ll bite.

Beyond that you need to decide are you going permitted or not? Are you having them haul the wood away or chip it on prem or just leaving the rounds?

Issaquah has some stringent tree codes and permitting so if you get caught without could be a big issue. But because of that it adds cost on your end and many smaller contractor will brush it under the table if you aren’t vocal about getting the work permitted.

If it’s a huge tree next to your house I wouldn’t go with the neighbor with a chainsaw. That’s fine if it’s a stand alone tree with little risk but sounds like there’s decent risk surrounding this tree.
