The Honorable Greg Brotherton, Chair
Jefferson County Board of Commissioners
P.O. Box 1220
Port Townsend,WA 98368
Dear Commissioner Brotherton:
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages approximately 14,705
acres of State Forest Transfer and Purchase Lands that benefit Jefferson County. These lands
generated $1,632,000 in calendar year 2019. Net value under contract for calendar year 2020 is
estimated at$1,684,000 from activities expected to occur under current contracts.
The income information in this report does not include anticipated revenues from additional
planned activities (contracts harvests, leases, easements, etc.) for which contracts have not been
finalized. These income estimates are net after the current agency management cost percentage
has been applied.
Some counties receive portions of their income from leases and fees; however, the majority of
income reflected in this report is derived from timber sales. As most revenue stems from timber
sales, these projections can fluctuate depending upon when timber harvests occur. Market
conditions, weather, contract requirements, and regulatory requirements influence timber
purchasers' decisions about when to harvest.
I appreciate how necessary revenue is to the success of county functions. DNR consistently
strives to ensure that we realize the maximum available income from the State Forest Transfer
and Purchase Lands. Should you have any questions regarding this information, please contact
Mona Griswold, Olympic Region Manager, at 360-374-2800 or at mona.griswold@dnr.wa.gov.
Sincerely,

COUNTY INCOME REPORT
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
January 2020
Two categories of lands are managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
specifically to benefit counties:
1. State Forest Transfer Lands. Lands acquired by counties through tax foreclosures were transferred to
DNR to manage. Management fee rates are established by the Board of Natural Resources. Currently,
counties receive 75 percent of the revenue from these lands.
2. State Forest Purchase Lands. State-issued bonds were used to acquire certain parcels from private
owners. Typically, these forest lands had been severely logged and were in need of active management.
Allocation of revenue from these lands was determined when purchase was authorized, as follows: 26.5
percent to the county in which the property is located; 50 percent to DNR for management expenses;
and the remaining 23.5 percent to the State General Fund.
Nineteen counties include these types of State Forest Lands within their county boundaries.
Income from management activities on State Forest Lands is designated for allocation to several taxing districts
in each county. Only a small amount is available to the county for discretionary use.
Revenue from State Forest Lands originates primarily from timber sales. These amounts vary widely as market
conditions fluctuate. Smaller portions of revenue are derived from activities such as communication site leases,
rights-of-way easements for utilities and roads, special forest products, special uses, and interest. Income will
also vary with the number of revenue-generating activities within a given year. Variables responsible for high
revenues in one year can lead to reduced income the following year.
• Table 1 shows the annual revenue for each county from calendar year 2009 through calendar year 2019.
This table illustrates the variability in total revenues from year to year.
• Table 2 shows projected revenue for all 19 counties from all activities on State Forest Lands for
calendar year 2019.
• Table 2A shows projected revenue for each timber sale on State Forest Lands in your county anticipated
to occur for 2020 and beyond (enclosed if applicable).
• Table 3 shows the volume and net value under contract as of December 31, 2019 that is not currently
scheduled for harvest until after December 2020 (enclosed if applicable).
Projections were developed by DNR region staff by contacting each timber purchaser that has rights to an
upcoming sale. Purchasers were asked how much and when they planned to harvest the timber from each sale.
These projected timber revenues should be considered rough estimates only; actual activity will depend on
individual sale characteristics (species, volume, location, etc.), combined with outside market factors as
determined by each purchaser.
The schedule of future timber sales from State Forest Lands in your county is available upon request from
Department of Natural Resources' region staff.
