Eastside Forestry LLC
About Eastside Forestry LLC
Eastside Forestry LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Cle Elum, Washington, run by Patrick Broderick. He supports small landowners with forest health assessments, Forest Stewardship Plans, forest health thinning, and fuels reduction (firewising). The business also handles salvage logging, planting and natural regeneration planning, GIS mapping, timber cruising and logging system design, and forest practice application work. For a timber sale, they manage the job for you and work with local loggers they already know, including "low-impact logging, utilizing operators with lightweight, tracked machinery to ensure your land stays beautiful & in tact." Their thinning work is described as "thinning from below," aimed at forest health rather than maximizing cut volume. They mainly serve Kittitas, Chelan, Yakima, and King counties, with work across Washington more broadly. Patrick is a Candidate Full Member with the Association of Consulting Foresters and an active member of the Washington Farm Forestry Association's Kittitas Chapter. He previously worked as lead forester for the Teanaway Community Forest at the DNR before forming Eastside Forestry in 2023. No stated minimum acreage appears, but the Forest Stewardship Plan work is described as available to owners of 5 or more acres, under the Designated Forest Land tax program. This fits a landowner in or near Kittitas, Chelan, Yakima, or King counties who wants someone thinking about long-term forest health, not just a quick cut, and who likes the idea of lighter equipment on the ground.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
