Loosing a pulp mill is huge . Having been thru 2 mills closing and being disassembled I know all too well the hole it leaves . I wonder where the products they provided will come from .
Probably from the southern US. Or maybe China.

The agency I work for use to get all of our copier paper from Grays Harbor Paper, probably less than a hundred miles from us. The last pallet that came in was from South Carolina. Makes a lot of sense

2 mills have recently started again up here in Maine. The Millinocket and East Millinocket mills are running again and Old Town fuel and fiber is adding another machine. The US paper industry isn't dead, not yet anyways.
The Forest Service is supposed to buy the recycled stuff. Unfortunately or fortunately it caused more paperjams than the non-recycled paper--here.

That would be my guess. The south cuts pulp like there's no tomorrow.
I kayaked by the Everett waterfront last summer. Tide was pretty rough in the shallows to the north, where sunken ships make a breakwater.

When I was growin up in Maine , if the wind came out of the north we could smell the Millinocket pulp mill . Good to see it's running again !!!!!
Does it still stink ? :msp_smile:

I am sure it still does smell, but I couldn't tell you first hand. Lot of local problems up there right now with the mills, landfill, and maybe a national park. Not a place I would start a "casual" conversation. LOL! If you are interested, go to bangordailynews.com and search Millinocket.
I do smell the Old Town mill twice a day though. On my way to and from work. I don't mind the smell because it provides a lot of jobs for the area.
a short list of snohomish county mills that have closed or are rumored to close this year, kimberly-clark, northwest hardwoods, hampton Darrington plant(still a rumor) that only leaves buse, sea-sno, Formark (technically not a mill) and miller shingle that i know of
I knew about Northwest Hardwoods but I haven't heard anything about Hampton. More friends will be out of a job then

maybe i should start reading the paper again... they did have one of those "days without accidents" signs out front and it never got past like the low 20's
maybe with sea-sno shut down hampton can stay open got a lot of friends and family that work there, grew up in derlict town and that mill is really all they got going.
