Thanks for the help. *Once I know what it is I'd like to find out if

Thank you all... yep, that's the tree. After looking online a little,
I see it may not be the tree of my dreams. Sounds somewhat invasive
and not long lived. I'm looking for one more tree for my South
Seattle yard and I think I'll keep looking. It sure was pretty,
though, at the zoo.

Closest thing to it is a bottlebrush, but I am not sure it'd tolerate
the damp climate where you are.
