Those Lava antennas are widely regarded as trash. Stick to reputable brands
like WInegard, Channel Master, Antennas Direct, and Antennacraft, There is a
great two page guide to picking the right antenna here:

There is also a lot of great info at those forums, though much of it is
specific to Canada. The general advice would still apply to Seattle.
About the tree mount... I don't know enough about it to give expert advice,
but at sounds problematic to me.
