It describes itself as "committed to producing high-quality lumber products with efficiency and care," and says it has "Over 200mbf of lumber produced daily."

How much is my timber worth in Grays Harbor County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Grays Harbor County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →Do I need a permit to cut timber in Washington?
Washington is not like the southern states on this. You must file a Forest Practices Application or Notification with the Department of Natural Resources before you can legally harvest timber, even on your own land, and DNR generally has about thirty days to review it. Mandatory stream-buffer and reforestation rules apply. Local governments generally cannot add rules on top of this.
