Bell Lumber & Pole’s Expansion into Longview Washington Complete

Bell Lumber & Pole Company is pleased to announce the expansion into its new pole peeling and logistics facility in Longview, WA is complete and in full operation.

Located just 50 miles north of Portland, OR on I-5 in southwestern WA, this property sits in the heart of Bell’s Coastal Douglas Fir wood procurement activities, a key region for both public and private timberland activities.  The location possesses access to the BNSF and Union Pacific railroads which provide rail connections to serve Bell’s New Brighton, MN, Sidney, NE and other partner treating plants.

“We are very fortunate to have this strategically located property and operation up and running.  The Western Washington community is an exciting opportunity for us to be a direct contributor and participant in the area’s timber markets and programs, and to welcome more employees into the Bell Family.” shared Tom Bell, President and Owner.
