Re Philanthropic Spending archives.seattletimes.com Wednesday, October 20, 1999 Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has given $3.4 million to save part of the Loomis Forest from the saw, covering a price increase imposed earlier this month by the state Board of Natural Resources. Announced yesterday in Seattle, the gift is one of the largest environmental donations in state history. Among private forest gifts from single donors, it is matched only by the $3.75 million Allen gave two years ago for the Nature Conservancy and Lummi Indian Nation to buy the 2,240-acre Arlecho Creek Forest in Whatcom County, said Elliot Marks, vice president of the conservancy and its Northwest regional director.
