He appears to have his own Twitter account, so at least he’s a social-media savvy man in a tree. There is even a livestream of the ‘event’ (which may have ended by the time your read this).
There was also further “insight” into Seattle’s newest superhero, provided by the internet. Thanks internet!

#ManInTree is now attempting to sleep. Or as most would call it "about to roll over and splatter himself all over the sidewalk below"
