A sawmill that closed back in 2015 has found a new owner and new life. According to Spencer Forest Products LLC’s construction engineer Rollie Dawson, the former Allen Logging Company sawmill in Jefferson County, Washington has been purchased for $1.25 million by Spencer.
Dawson says the company is anticipating opening the newly tooled mill by December. The mill will produce softwood lumber, just as its predecessor Allen Logging did.
In 2014, Allen Logging produced 15 million board feet (35 million in its heyday in the late 1990s) of 8-foot-long 2-by-4s, 4-by-4s and 2-by-6s, plus railroad ties and wood chips.
