There’s something special about seeing lumber from our Darrington sawmill pass through Portland, OR. While train traffic can be an occasional  inconvenience for metro commuters, it’s a nice reminder of the journey our lumber makes from rural communities in the Pacific Northwest to others across the country. 

Thanks to Eric Lamberth for capturing this moment in the #HamptonLumberJourney!  #HamptonDarrington
