West Sound Lumber Co
About West Sound Lumber Co
West Sound Lumber Co is a sawmill in Eastsound, Washington, on Orcas Island. It is a family-owned mill that cuts timber grown right there on the island. The mill works on custom cutting of large logs, with a focus on making long beams, and it also turns out dimensional lumber cut at full width rather than the thinner standard sizes. They describe themselves as able to "accommodate special or unique requests." The mill works with timber grown on Orcas Island and serves San Juan County, with lumber and beams used in buildings on Orcas Island and around the Puget Sound area. The sawmill was designed and built by Jack Helsell in the mid 1970s on his and his wife Jan Helsell's property near West Sound on Orcas Island, and it is still run by the family. This fits a landowner on Orcas Island with large logs to turn into beams or full-width lumber, rather than someone looking for a standing-timber sale or logging crew.
