Have not tried to track prices, but must be getting pretty high? There are a bunch of folks here from SW WA who likely keep track of these markets.
Have 32 acres near Mossyrock that was originally logged circa 1900, selectively logged for telephone poles in 1972, nothing since except for firewood for personal use.
Seems lately have been getting an inquiry every other week about selling timber . Not much DF over 18" DBH, but lots of 15" dbh alder, most pretty straight. No need to sell anything, but curious as to the market.
Thinking alder prices must be pretty high. Neighbor there told me 5 years ago he was getting $1100 MBF for veneer quality logs.
Being an old Midwest boy, always considered alder just a firewood tree, not any more, eh?
