Logging History Program

  • Lewis Creek Visitor Center 5808 Lakemont Boulevard Southeast Bellevue, WA, 98006 United States (map)

Did you know that most of the east side of Lake Washington was clear-cut by 1920 or that nearly all of the big trees that we see today are less than 100 years old? Come and see the equipment that evolved from two men working one tree all day with a hand-saw, to sky-line cable operations that could clear a whole Cougar Mountain valley in a single day. Presented in partnership by the Eastside Heritage Center and the Issaquah Alps Trails Club.

This program is best for adults, but participants ages 13+ are welcome with accompanying adult(s). No pre-registration required. Indoor program.
