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.

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.

Live Edge Wood Slabs/Specialty & Dimensional Lumber SalesVacuum Kiln Drying ServicesCustom Milling to SpecOn-site Mobile MillingCustom Woodworking

Forest Shepherd Inc. Lumber Milling, Kiln Drying, Specialty Lumber Sales & Custom Woodworking is based in Monroe, Washington, and works mainly in Snohomish County. This is a sawmill operation, not a timber buyer or logging crew. They mill logs into live edge slabs and specialty or dimensional lumber, dry it on-site in a vacuum kiln, do custom milling to spec, and will bring a mobile mill to your site. They also do custom woodworking with the lumber they produce. The owner, Julian Iacobazzi, has worked with wood for years and has been a General Contractor for 25 years. He describes the logs they use as "locally sourced, salvaged, reclaimed, and ethically harvested," some coming from arborists and homeowners removing trees. Species mentioned are maples and cottonwoods. The business holds a Washington Contractor License (FORESSI836PE). There's no stated minimum acreage, so there's nothing to go by there in terms of a tract size policy or a smallest job on record. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, maybe from a storm, a removal, or clearing for a project, and wants them milled into usable lumber, dried, and possibly worked into something finished, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber.

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.

Northman Logging LLC is a logging contractor in Washington, run by Matt Fink. They work in Snohomish, Island, south Skagit, and north King Counties. Their main trade is logging, and they also take on land-clearing and site work. They do thinning, residential and commercial logging, danger tree and blowdown removal, and tree removal in tight quarters. They say they "specialize in small acreage" and have a self-loading log truck that can haul your timber to the mill, along with equipment to build temporary or permanent roads to reach the project. How a job runs: if you have enough trees to make a log load, it goes to a mill to become lumber, and "you will get a cut of the mill check." They are licensed, bonded, and insured to work in the state of Washington, under contractor's license number CCNORTHLL804DC. This fits a landowner with a small, wooded lot who wants a crew set up to log it and haul the timber out themselves, rather than hiring that part out separately.

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.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Snohomish County?

15 businesses are listed for Snohomish County: 2 consulting foresters and 13 buyers, loggers and mills. 4 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Snohomish 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 Snohomish 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.

What is timber worth in Snohomish County?

No price series is published for Snohomish County on its own. Washington's latest published stumpage figures (Washington Department of Revenue stumpage value tables, January–June 2026) put western red cedar at $1,036–$1,051 per thousand board feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
