Reflection/Evaluation
The Wishbone Timber Sale in the Marckworth State Forest is an area that has not been logged since the 1940’s and is a naturally recovered site and King County as a beneficiary is able to stop the sale. Members sent a request to their Councilmember to stop the sale and save this natural area from logging by the WA state DNR.
We responded to a last minute action alert. Our comments and many others in the county were heard-King County Council sent a letter to WA DNR board and the sale was paused!
