About WA DNR Northeast Region timber sale prices
This page rolls up green sawtimber auctions in the Northeast Region into a volume-weighted monthly average price per ton (green weight), the per-ton basis Idaho and Montana sell some sales on, its median sale price, its premium over the appraised minimum, and its bid intensity. Salvage, deck, stewardship and product sales are excluded from these figures and ranked separately on the board rather than blended in: they are a different product from standing green sawtimber, and many sell on token minimums where any real bid reads as an outsized premium. These sales are scaled and priced per ton, a different unit from a state MBF or federal CCF price, so they are not directly comparable and never blended in. 2 green sawtimber sales in this region are sold in MBF instead (9,108 MBF). Those sales are counted on their own and never averaged into the price above, because the units measure wood differently. Every completed auction here is listed in the sale table below the price figures, newest first, with a link to the agency document it comes from. The sale advertised here but not yet auctioned is listed under it, soonest first; every advertised sale the site covers, in every region, is on the upcoming timber auctions calendar.
