Seattle’s Lost Lumber Yards
Seattle’s booming skyline and tech-driven economy might define the city today, but its roots tell a very different story. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Seattle was the epicenter of the lumber industry, with towering lumberyards and sawmills shaping the city's development and economy.
In this video, we’ll uncover the hidden history of Seattle’s forgotten lumberyards, explore how they helped build the city we know today, and investigate why they were abandoned. From the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest to the docks and railroads that moved timber across the globe, this is the untold story of Seattle's wooden past.
