About Olympic Region timber sale prices
This page rolls up GREEN SAWTIMBER auctions in the Olympic Region, standing timber sold on a real appraised minimum, into a volume-weighted monthly average price per thousand board feet (MBF), its median sale price, its premium over the appraised minimum, and its bid intensity. Salvage, deck, stewardship and product sales price on token minimums, so they are excluded from these figures and reported separately on the board rather than blended in. Volumes are reported in MBF. Everything here is a completed auction. Sales that have been noticed but not yet sold, in this region and everywhere else the site covers, sit on the upcoming timber auctions calendar with their auction date, offered volume and appraised minimum.
