Socco Forest Products

About Socco Forest Products

Socco Forest Products is a sawmill and lumber processing operation in Sumas, Washington, right near the Canadian border. They don't buy standing timber or send loggers onto your land. Instead, they take lumber that's already been cut and get it ready for market: kiln drying and heat treating, resawing, surfacing, trimming, ripping, grading and sorting, anti-stain treatment, and storage and reloading. In their own words, they help customers "get quality lumber processed to specification and ready for market." Their equipment includes a multiblade rip saw, a single band resaw, a modified planer with surfacing capability, double end and precision trimming lines, and an anti-stain spray booth. They also offer indoor and outdoor storage, with forklifts on site and inventory tracked in their own management software. Their location a quarter mile from the border lets them load and unload larger trailers for shipment to both US and Canadian destinations. On credentials, they describe themselves as a "Proud member of Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau (PLIB)" and note trained graders on staff who can work to accredited agency standards or a customer's own grading specs. They serve Whatcom County. This fits a landowner, mill operator, or lumber broker who already has cut material and needs it dried, resawn, graded, or stored, not someone looking for help selling or harvesting standing timber.
