Neighbor Cut Down My Tree

Location: Washington State

So I have a bit of a problem. I was leaving for work the other day and noticed that I was missing a tree in my backyard. Went and looked and saw a stump.

My property has 2 houses behind me. There are easements on the north and south sides of my property to give access to those properties. I spoke with the county and saw that the easements are 30' from the north and south property line.

After I measured from the property line back towards my house, I saw that the easement actually ends about halfway through their driveway, and is about 10' short of where the tree that was cut down was.

I spoke to another neighbor who actually saw it happening, and I guess it was a week and a half ago, I come and go in the dark, and there are no windows really facing out that direction. But he did say that it was the owner of the property behind mine who cut it down.

The house is a rental, someone recently moved in. I have not yet spoken to the owner to understand what is going on and why. I have filed a police report for the cut tree to make sure there was documentation of it.

What advice does anyone have to steps moving forward?
