This Overview shows the Longview Softwood lumber milling facility, located on the Oregon-Washington border in Longview, Washington. Felled trees arrive at this facility by boat and are then stacked in huge piles like these and taken by forklift into the mill. Producing 7.7 million square feet (720,000 square meters) of processed lumber every year, the facility maintains the highest capacity of any sawmill in the United States.
