JEFFERSON COUNTY. 
This county stretches from Hood’s Canal upon the east to the Pacific 
Ocean. Its central portion, comprising three-fourths of it, lies within the 
Olympic Mountains. Scattered here and there in this area there are con- 
siderable timber in the below-timber-line districts, but on account of the 
inaccessibleness of the district it is of no value at present for milling purposes. 
Barring the mountain area, the county was formerly heavily forested, on the 
west with cedar and spruce, on the east with fir. The timber in the eastern 
part of the county has been largely destroyed either by ax or fire, mainly 
the latter. The timber in the western part of the county is yet virgin, being 
untouched by fire or ax. The most abundant species represented in this 
county is the cedar.
