Land AcquisitionTimber PurchasesTraditional LoggingCommercial ThinningSalvage Logging+1 more

Northwest Logging Company, LLC is a logging and timber buying business based in Tacoma, Washington, working in Pierce County. They handle traditional logging (full removal, or "clear-cutting"), commercial thinning, salvage logging after fire or storm damage, view clearing, land acquisition, and timber purchases where they buy the standing timber deed while you keep the land. They also do valuation, appraisal, and timber cruises, plus permitting, harvest layout, timber harvest management, and reforestation. Their process starts with a valuation expert coming out to inspect your timber and give you a bid. Once you agree on price, they handle permitting and planning, which can include road building, then their fallers and machinery harvest and prepare logs for the mills. Afterward they can help with debris cleanup, stump removal, land clearing, and replanting. For timber purchase deals, they say payment comes "prior to the commencement of harvest operations." They describe themselves as "a family owned and operated company" with over 35 years in the logging industry, and they work across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. There's no stated minimum acreage for timber sales. The smallest property they currently show for sale is a 2.0 acre woodland parcel in Woodland, though that's a property listing rather than a stated policy on job size. This fits a landowner who wants one company to handle the whole process, from timber valuation through harvest and cleanup, and who is comparing options across the Western states rather than just locally.

Johnson Logging, LLC is a family run logging company based in Chehalis, Washington, working in Western Washington and serving Thurston County. Drew Johnson owns and runs every job himself. They handle all phases of logging and land clearing, for both residential and commercial jobs. Their work covers cutting, yarding, hauling, and finding the best market value for your timber. They also take on new construction prep, renovations, clearing for pasture, timber harvesting, and road building. They note that small wooded properties "contain a variety of trees in a mixture of sizes, ages and quality," and that local mills can be restrictive about what sizes and varieties they'll take, which is worth knowing if you're on a smaller lot. They don't state a minimum acreage. They say they serve "small to large acreage jobs" and list small acreage logging as one of their specialties, so a few acres of trees shouldn't be too small to ask about. They offer a free estimate before any work starts. Johnson Logging has been running since 2010. The business carries a Washington contractor license, JOHNSTS811DJ. This fits a landowner in Western Washington, especially Thurston County, with a smaller wooded property who wants an owner-run outfit willing to walk a small job through from cutting to sale.

Gig Harbor, WA
ground based harvestscable/ high lead harvestsfree evaluations

Erickson Logging is a logging contractor based in Gig Harbor, Washington, working with private landowners as well as municipalities and state and federal agencies. They harvest timber and also buy it, and they serve Pierce County. They take on both ground based harvests and cable or high lead harvests, so flat ground, steep hills, or a mix of both can be worked. They offer free evaluations if you want to know what your timber is worth, and say they "can usually accommodate requests within a week." The company started in 1988 as a firewood operation with one processor and three trucks, and has grown from there, now running enough equipment for three ground-based logging sites. They state a 20 acre minimum. Their own figures give a sense of the range involved: "the harvest of a well-stocked 20-acre parcel can bring anywhere from $50k to $600k," depending on things like age, species, and access to the site. This fits a landowner with a decently sized, well-stocked parcel in Pierce County who wants a contractor with real equipment behind them and is comfortable getting a free look before deciding anything.

Sawmilling On-Site ServiceRough Sawn LumberPlaned LumberT&Gcar decking+1 more

Taylor Ranch Timbers Portable Sawmilling is a sawmill out of Loon Lake, Washington, serving Stevens County. The Taylor family started sawmilling in 2015 at their home there, running a Woodmizer LT40 portable mill, and Justin now runs it full-time with help from his wife and growing family. They'll come on-site to "turn your logs into usable dimensional lumber and beams," cutting douglas fir, cedar, pine, and fir. Work includes rough sawn lumber cut to custom dimensions, planed lumber, T&G, car decking, shiplap, and siding. They also re-saw old timbers down to the size you need, and they buy log truck loads, especially large douglas fir and cedar. Their mill can handle logs up to 42 inches across and cut beams up to 44 feet long, so if you've got something oversized or oddly shaped, that's their kind of job. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their work centers on individual logs and custom cuts rather than whole-tract sales, so this fits a landowner with a handful of trees down or a specific building project in mind, not someone looking to sell standing timber off a large parcel. The business is local veteran owned and operated. This suits a landowner in or near Stevens County who already has logs, or a few big trees worth milling, and wants them turned into usable lumber or beams rather than sold as a stumpage deal.

Buying Logs, Land or Timber

Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) Sawmill runs a sawmill in Centralia, Washington, and buys logs, land, and standing timber as part of a larger company based in Redding, California. They describe themselves as "one of the largest purchasers of logs and timber in North America," and they buy "throughout the western U.S. and Canada." The species they take include Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, Douglas Fir, Incense Cedar, White Fir, and Western Hemlock. Their work covers buying logs, land, or timber, along with their own logging. For Washington landowners, they serve Lewis County, and their procurement contact for the Centralia mill is listed by name and phone on their site. They point to professional foresters on staff, and their site talks about Sustainable Forestry Initiative commitments and documents they've put together for log suppliers and contractors, including fact sheets by state, Washington among them. SPI also traces its sequestration figures back to 1990. This fits a landowner near Centralia or elsewhere in Lewis County who has the species SPI buys and wants a straightforward sale to a large, established mill rather than a smaller local outfit.

Log Purchases

High Cascade Forest LLC is based in Carson, Washington. It works as the sales agent for Wilkins, Kaiser & Olsen Inc. (WKO) and Mt. Hood Forest Products LLC, and it buys logs. So if you're looking at a sale, this is the outfit standing between your trees and the mill, handling the purchase side of things. It's listed under log purchases, and it serves Skamania County. There's no minimum tract size stated, so if you're on a smaller parcel it may be worth a call to ask rather than assume you're too small. This fits a landowner in or near Skamania County who wants to sell logs and deal directly with a sales agent working on behalf of named mills, rather than hunting down the mills separately.

management assistance

Guy Bennett Lumber Co, known as Bennett Lumber, is a sawmill in Clarkston, Washington. They buy saw logs and timberland and will make a cash offer on a timber parcel. Alongside their main work of milling lumber, they also offer management assistance to landowners on request. They've operated since 1939. They own and manage about 70,000 acres of forest land across northern Idaho and Eastern Washington, and serve landowners in Whitman County. Professional foresters work out of their Clarkston office, and you can reach them to ask about current log prices or request a cash offer on a parcel. Their offer includes "competitive log prices and an honest scale." They hold certification under the 2022 SFI Standard for Fiber Sourcing and Forest Management, a standard covering fiber sourcing and forest practices across North America. This fits a landowner in Whitman County with saw timber to sell, who wants a straightforward price from a mill that has been buying logs in this corner of the Northwest since 1939.

kiln dried dimension lumbergreen timbers

WKO Inc is a sawmill in Carson, Washington. They run "a modern state of the art sawmill with dry kilns and a planer mill specializing in high quality kiln dried dimension lumber and green timbers," so this isn't a one-truck logging outfit, it's a mill operation with its own kiln drying and planing on site. Beyond milling, they also buy logs directly, listing "Log Buyer" among their specialties, with a named contact, Jon Paul Anderson, for that side of the business. They serve Skamania County. No tree species are named and no minimum tract size is given anywhere in what they've put out, so there's nothing to go on for the smallest job they'd take. This fits a landowner near Carson who has logs ready to sell and wants a mill that will buy direct, rather than someone looking for a logger to come walk 10 acres and plan a harvest from scratch.

Meyers Custom Lumber is a family-operated sawmill and millwork shop in Willard, Washington, in the Little White Salmon River Valley. Matt is the owner and sawyer, with over 20 years running a sawmill in the Columbia Gorge area, and the business went full-time in 2008. This is a mill and a timber buyer both. They purchase logs from local logging companies and private landowners, so if you've got standing timber on your own ground, that's who you'd be talking to. They cut fir in the rough, from beams and posts to lumber and board and batt siding, plus planed and finish grade material like tongue and groove flooring, S4S trim boards, and 2x6 fir car decking. They also work in cedar, turning out decking, bevel siding, and tongue and groove 1x4. Their equipment includes an LT40 hydraulic Wood-Mizer bandsaw mill, a Logosol 4-head planer-moulder for custom moulding profiles, and a dry kiln. They serve Skamania County. Their own words sum up the goal plainly: they want to give you material "that is a pleasure to work with." This fits a landowner near the Gorge with fir or cedar to sell who wants it milled into real lumber and siding, not just hauled off as logs. From meyerscustomlumber.com, read 4 October 2026.

Lumber & MillingTimber StructuresBuild KitsEquestrian FacilitiesCommercial Projects+1 more

Washington Timber Company is a sawmill in Arlington, Washington, right on Deer Creek at the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River. They have been milling large and oversized timbers since 1977. If you have big Douglas Fir or Western Red Cedar on your land, this is a mill built around exactly that kind of wood. They mill Old Growth Douglas Fir, Structural Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar, and they say "Old Growth Douglas Fir & Cedar milled to your exact dimensions." They cut structural grade timber in custom dimensions, sizes up to 30 by 30, and lengths to 60 feet. The work covers lumber and milling, timber structures, build kits, equestrian facilities, commercial projects, and international export. They also buy timber, not just mill it. Their own words put it plainly: "We don't just sell lumber. We mill it, fabricate it, build with it, and ship it." They list Snohomish County as served, and they ship finished timber nationwide and abroad from the Arlington mill. Their process for structure builds runs through four steps: estimate, design, mill, and build, with their own crew doing the installation rather than subcontractors. This fits a landowner with large, old growth Douglas Fir or cedar timber, especially if you want it milled into structural beams or a finished structure rather than sold as logs. If you are looking at smaller or mixed stands, this mill is built for oversized, high grade timber work, not general logging. From washingtontimbercompany.com, read 4 October 2026.

Kiln Dried Douglas Fir BeamsArchitectural Posts and BeamsKiln Dried Clear PostsBridge TimbersDouglas Fir Scaffold Plank+1 more

Canyon Lumber Co Inc is a sawmill in Everett, Washington, built around Douglas Fir. They manufacture specialty products such as kiln dried Douglas Fir beams, architectural posts and beams, kiln dried clear posts, bridge timbers, scaffold plank, and Douglas Fir clear finish boards, aimed at high-end commercial and residential building. They work only in Douglas Fir, and only with logs already cut. The mill doesn't own timberland and doesn't buy standing trees directly; it relies on logs delivered by loggers and purchased from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The mill is SFI Certified and ships to both domestic and international markets, naming Washington, Japan, and Spain among the places it supplies. It names Snohomish county among the areas it serves. Orders can run "pieces, truckloads, or carloads," so both small and large batches are handled. The company has been running since 1907 and describes itself as a "third generation, privately held corporation." This suits a landowner whose timber has already been logged, who is looking for a mill to turn Douglas Fir logs into finished beams, timbers, or scaffold plank, rather than a logger or buyer looking at standing trees on the stump.

custom sawingplaningunit sawing

Fritch Mill is a sawmill in Snohomish, Washington. They've been turning Douglas Fir, Hemlock, and Western Red Cedar into lumber since 1950, and they also buy logs. They also work with Alder, Maple, and Cottonwood. Their focus is on "hard to find cuttings to meet exacting specifications," including full or standard sawn rough. Saw sized cuttings are available, and they can surface sizes up to 8 x 16 on four sides. Beyond their core sawing, they offer custom sawing, planing, and unit sawing. They are a long time member of the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau (PLIB) and keep two certified graders on staff. They serve Snohomish County. If you're a smaller landowner, take note: their custom sawing work carries a 50,000 board foot minimum, so this isn't the outfit for a small backyard batch of logs. That minimum is the clearest size marker they give. This fits a landowner with a real volume of logs to move, someone who wants specific cuts and grading done right, not a one-off small lot looking for a quick, informal sale.

Teanaway Millworks is a sawmill and log buyer in Cle Elum, Washington, working out of Kittitas county. They buy Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine logs from private and public land within the county, and they cut rough-sawn boards and beams, custom cut to match what you already have. The mill itself has history behind it. It was built piecemeal over 40 years by Ed Conner, and Teanaway Millworks took over running it in 2021, keeping the same carriage and head-saw. They also run a log lathe built by the Montgomery-Pogue family, useful for smaller diameter logs from forest thinning. They describe their logs as "strategically harvested by local foresters to minimize waste and maximize forest health." Visits for pick up or drop off are by appointment. This fits a Kittitas county landowner with Douglas Fir or Ponderosa Pine who wants a local mill buying logs directly, especially if some of that timber is smaller diameter wood from thinning rather than big sawlogs.

purchasingharvestingmerchandisingmarketing standing timber

Merrill & Ring Inc is out of Port Angeles, Washington. They buy standing timber, log it themselves, and handle the marketing and sale of the logs after that, working across the Pacific Northwest including the Olympic Peninsula, Southwest Washington, and the North Cascades. They aren't a small local outfit you'd call for a single back-forty job. Their own description of the work is "purchasing, harvesting, merchandising, and marketing standing timber from working forests," and they lean on a network of contractors and processing facilities, including export yards that ship logs to China, Japan, and Korea, to get the best return. They say the Merrill & Ring families have been doing this "for over 135 years." Their ground is certified under the American Tree Farm System, and they were a founding member of what's now the Washington Forest Fire Association, back in 1908. They don't give a minimum acreage anywhere, so there's no size to point to, small or large. Given the scale of their operations and their export yards, this reads as a business built around larger forest holdings rather than a one-time sale off a small woodlot. If you're sitting on a sizable working forest in that part of Washington and want someone who buys, cuts, and markets the timber themselves, they're worth a call. If you've got a modest few acres and just want one tree lot sold once, you may be better served by someone closer to that scale. From merrillring.com, read 4 October 2026.

NWTL Inc. is a full service logging contractor, based in Sandy with a listing in Clark County, Washington. It handles timber management, timber harvesting, timber brokering, land clearing and forestry consulting, plus residential tree work in east Clackamas County. On the harvest side it offers custom hand felling, mechanical logging, tractor logging, shovel logging and cable logging, along with pre-commercial thinning, multi-stage thinnings, clear cutting and reforestation. Thinning and clear cutting are done "on percentage basis or by the MBF." For timber sales, it works with mills and buyers across the domestic, export and pulp markets, plus smaller outlets like custom mills, log home builders and firewood suppliers, aiming to find a buyer for most of what comes off the land. It says it offers "all phases of logging from small stands of timber to large tracts," and offers free timber evaluations and estimations before a job starts. For land clearing, it works by the acre, by the hour or by the project, handling stump digging, burning and tub grinding where burning isn't allowed, along with hydro ax mowing. The company holds a CCB license and states it is licensed, bonded and insured. This fits a landowner who wants one contractor to cut the timber, find the buyer and clear what's left, rather than hiring each piece separately. From nwtlinc.com, read 4 October 2026.

Will Logging & Construction LLC is a logging and timber buying outfit out of Tonasket, Washington. They've been at it since 2019, and the owners behind it say they've worked in the trade for over 20 years before taking the company on fully. They're family-owned and local. The work covers timber harvesting, log hauling, timber valuation and appraisals, management plans, timber stand improvement, forest road construction, land clearing and excavation, custom cutting, lowboy hauling, and forest fire prevention. They do their own log hauling rather than bringing in an outside hauler, calling themselves a "one-stop-shop" for harvesting and hauling. They describe their harvesting as "fully mechanical," aiming for fewer people on the ground during a cut. They'll also build or improve forest roads and driveways, and help with site prep for home building. They say they take you through the whole process, from permits to making a property eligible for harvest, including figuring out whether you need new roads before any cutting starts. They want at least 20 acres of forested land before they'll take on a timber sale, by their own stated minimum. Their listed service area is Okanogan County, and they say they work within a 100-mile radius of Tonasket, naming towns like Omak, Wenatchee, Okanogan, Chelan, Colville, and Twisp among others. They're Certified Master Loggers through the Washington Contract Loggers Association and hold a contractor's license. This one suits a landowner with a larger forested parcel in north-central Washington who wants one company to handle the cutting, the hauling, and the road work all at once, rather than coordinating several separate contractors.

production of lumber from smaller-diameter logs

Vaagen Brothers Lumber Inc is a sawmill in Colville, Washington, and also buys timber. They work with smaller-diameter logs, taking in what a lot of other mills pass over. The business has been in the forest industry for over 70 years, started by Bert and Bud Vaagen in the early 1950s, and it is still run by the Vaagen family. They operate their flagship facility in Colville and run a second sawmill in Usk, Washington. They serve Stevens County. If you are a landowner thinking about harvesting and selling timber, they offer a free tree evaluation to talk through what you have and how they do business. Their approach is built around getting value from the whole tree, not just the sawlog. As they put it, they aim at "maximizing the use of every harvested tree," with bark, chips, and wood fiber going on to paper, power, and landscaping uses. They describe their work as "Specializing in the production of lumber from smaller-diameter logs," which matters if your stand is mostly smaller timber that bigger mills might not want. This fits a landowner near Colville or Usk whose trees run smaller in diameter and who wants a mill that is built around that kind of wood rather than large old growth.

Northwest Forest Link is a log buyer based in Longview, Washington. They purchase round logs from Pacific Northwest suppliers and sell to sawmills and wholesalers in the United States and abroad, working out of their Longview office on 12th Avenue. This isn't a logging outfit that comes out and cuts your trees. They buy round logs already harvested and move them along to mills and wholesalers, with sales handled both domestically and for export. Several species and dimensions are available, and they describe their work as "connecting trees to customers," matching forest resources to the buyers who want them. They cover Cowlitz County and work with suppliers across the Pacific Northwest more broadly. The business states "over 30 years of timber purchasing and sales experience." There's no minimum tract size stated, so if you're a smaller landowner it's worth a call to see if your logs fit what they're buying. This one suits a landowner who already has logs cut and ready, or who's working with a logger, and just needs a buyer on the other end rather than someone to manage the harvest itself.

NWH buys logs and standing timber, and also works as a logging outfit. It's listed in Cowlitz County with a Longview, Washington contact, John Anderson, though the company itself is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. They buy a wide range of hardwoods. Out west that's Alder, Ash, and Pacific Coast Maple. In the east it runs to Cherry, Chestnut Oak, Hard Maple, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, and White Oak, among others. Their process has four steps: they come out to evaluate your timber, give you a detailed estimate, put together an agreement with payment terms, and then harvest. They describe it plainly: "We want to buy your logs & standing timber." They set a floor on size. NWH says it works "with landowners who have a minimum of 10 acres to harvest," so if your parcel is smaller than that, this isn't the match. Washington buying is mentioned alongside Oregon and Northern California, and the company also covers ground in Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, with named contacts in each area. NWH has been around since 1967. This fits a landowner with at least 10 acres in Cowlitz County or nearby who wants one outfit handling both the timber purchase and the logging, and who doesn't mind that the company's main office sits far from the woods it buys from.

Forest Management Solutions, LLC is based in Centralia, Washington. They handle timberland management and forestry consulting for landowners, covering everything from timber cruising and valuation to logging subcontracting, log marketing, harvest permitting, engineering, and silviculture work like planting, thinning, and spraying. Their core services break down into a few areas: timberland management (management plans, contractor selection and negotiation, generational ownership transitions, acquisition and sale advising), timber harvesting (harvest planning and layout for thinnings and regeneration, log sales and marketing, road construction), timber cruising and valuation (land acquisitions, timber sales, estate valuations, cost basis estimates), GIS/GPS mapping, and reforestation (site prep, seedling procurement, stand monitoring, vegetation and animal damage control). On the harvesting side they say they have a "strong network of log buyers and logging contractors" to work the sale when the time comes. They also help attorneys, CPAs, and real estate professionals who need to understand timber values and succession planning. They work throughout western Washington and northwest Oregon, with current operations centered in Lewis County. They have been in business since 2014. Their minimum acreage is 5 acres, stated plainly in their own words: "Whether you own 5 acres or 5000, we take pride in providing current, professional forestry services." This outfit suits a landowner who wants one business to carry a timber sale from first cruise through harvest to reforestation, rather than juggling separate contractors for each step, and who may also be dealing with an estate or ownership transition alongside the timber itself.

Site preparationSeed collection, nursery operations and plantingPre-commercial thinning, chipping, grinding and haulingCommercial thinning and haulingHarvest and hauling

Green Diamond Resource Co is a forest stewardship company that owns and manages working forests, buying and growing timber as well as logging and advising on forest management. Its main office is at 6400 Highway 66 in Klamath Falls, and it is listed in Mason County, Washington, where it serves as a timber buyer, independent logger, and forestry consultant. This is a family-owned company that has been "for six generations" managing forests across California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. The species they work with include Douglas fir, larch, true firs, western red cedar, lodgepole and ponderosa pine, Loblolly pines, and giant redwood forests. Their work covers the full cycle: site preparation, seed collection, nursery operations and planting, pre-commercial and commercial thinning, chipping, grinding, hauling, and harvest and hauling. They describe their process as a "continuous cycle of harvesting and replanting," noting that growth cycles vary by species, with Loblolly pines maturing in up to 28 years and Douglas firs taking up to 50. All of their lands carry certification under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and they describe their approach as "responsible forest management guided by experience and backed by science," with attention to fire resilience and long-term forest health. There is no stated minimum acreage for timber sales or logging jobs. This fits a landowner whose land sits within a large managed timberland region and who wants a company built around long-term, large-scale forest ownership and stewardship rather than a one-time, small-parcel harvest.

Tobin Bros Excavation and Tree Services works out of Shelton, Washington, serving Mason County. They've been in business since 1970. Logging is their main trade, alongside land clearing, thinning of tree stands, and selective logging. They also buy standing timber. Beyond timber work, they handle tree removal, stump grinding, excavating, demolition, road building, and site development, plus 24/7 emergency tree services. For land clearing jobs, they'll send someone out to look at the land first, talk over your plans, and work out what needs doing before anything starts. On acreage, they say "No Lot Too Small, We Clear Them All," so there's no minimum they've stated. They offer free estimates and say they're fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with license number TOBIN754BS. This fits a landowner in Mason County who wants one outfit able to handle the logging and the dirt work and the stump grinding all together, rather than hiring separate contractors for each piece.

Roots Forestry Consulting LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Arlington, Washington. They guide landowners through the whole process of managing timber, from planning through harvest, and also buy timber. Their work covers timber cruising, timber appraisal, forest inventory, timber harvest design and permitting, reforestation, pre-commercial thinning, timber management plans, forest stewardship plans, road maintenance, firewood sales, wetland delineation, stream buffering, and unstable slope identification. The species they work with are Douglas-fir, western hemlock, red alder, and bigleaf maple. They start the logging layout process in-office using GIS-based remote sensing to develop a harvest unit and get it properly permitted, then work with loggers through the job to completion. They say they "assess the value of your timber to assure that you receive fair compensation" and that they will help you "navigate complex Forest Practice laws." They serve Snohomish County, and also name Whatcom, Island, San Juan, Skagit, and King counties as part of their area. There's no stated minimum acreage, but they say "whether you have five acres or five hundred acres," so they're set up to work with small parcels too. This fits a landowner anywhere from a small lot to a large tract who wants one firm to handle the paperwork, the permitting, and the sale itself, rather than piecing it together on their own.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers are there in Washington?

43 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the WSU Extension forestry consultant directory, covering 18 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
