You have to remember, you're talking about Washington state. Most of the raw timber has been taken, and there isn't much left that isn't protected. I don't have the figures in front of me, but I think we have 9 National Forests and 3 or 4 Wilderness Areas......the nonpartisan supported Wild Sky Wilderness Act makes 5. wawild.org This land is virtually off limits to logging. Although some second growth logging still takes place.....most of it is on private land owned by Weyerhaeuser and several other smaller tree companies. Most of the trees used for construction and paper manufacturing come from farmed trees. I'm not pretending to tell you your business, and you're spot on about the lefties taking the best timber......remote, and the most pristine and beautiful forests were taken over years ago by the left in the Pacific NW, so it isn't as if they are logging the heck out of it. They're "environmentalists" afterall. Canada and Alaska have the largest crops of virgin timber.....that is where most of the lumber will come from in the future, discounting the exotics that come from SA and Asia. OTOH....there's allot of pine east of the mts...we could all live in log cabins. ;) M
