About Thurston County timber sales
This page lists the public timber sales tracked in Thurston County, WA: state and federal auctions with their offered volume, result and price. It is a running record, newest first. A sale spanning two counties appears on both counties' pages. An advertised sale reads "Upcoming" until its auction date; once that date has passed it reads "Result pending" until the result posts. Volume is shown in each sale's own unit (MBF for most state sales, CCF for federal sales, tons for per-ton Idaho and Montana sales), and the units are never blended. Prices are as published by the selling agency.
