I got some wood for free, but have no clue what it is. Very wet and very heavy. 4 logs 6-10 ft long weighed in at just shy of 5000 lbs after being cut to rounds to load on my trailer. Can anyone help ID it?

It smells like watermelon rind, didnt have any sap when handling it (gloves got wet, but dusted clean after getting dry).
 
Was cutting the logs in the rain, and forgot to get a picture of the stack.
Logs came from somewhere in Washington.

I had originally thought sycamore, but the lack of any substantial darker heart wood had me questioning it. Ive never seen beech, maybe?
 
Thanks for the replies. Itll get dried out for a little bit before it gets split up.
