Vaagen Brothers Lumber Inc

About Vaagen Brothers Lumber Inc

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.
