Logging is a major industry in Washington. We saw lots of logging trucks and logging barges.
This was a mural we saw when we took a walking tour of Port Angeles.
Because of the flooding the city needed to be built up. It took 400+ loggers working 24 hour shifts when they could not log to lift the city up. They raised the buildings and set them on redwood beams and put in concrete walls to hold the dirt they used to fill in the streets. They used 5 gallon buckets to pour the concrete and there are no cracks in the walls they poured. This is the underground floor of one of the buildings they raised.
