Dear Commissioner Dean:
To protect the safety of staff and community members across the state, the Washington State Department of Natural
Resources has closed its offices to the public during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, DNR remains open for
business, even with many of its staff working remotely. Please contact agency staff via phone or email as much as
possible.
We are working to navigate through the disruptions to normal operations, and we appreciate your patience during
this time of uncertainty. For further information on changes across the agency related to the COVID-19 outbreak,
please go to dnr.wa.gov.
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
$3,496,000 in calendar year 2020. Net value under contract for calendar year 2021 is estimated at $18,000
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.

COUNTY INCOME REPORT
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
January 2021
Two categories of lands are managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
specifically to benefit counties:
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.
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 2010 through calendar year 2020.
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 2021.
• Table 2A shows projected revenue for each timber sale on State Forest Lands in your county anticipated
to occur for 2021 and beyond (enclosed if applicable).
• Table 3 shows the volume and net value under contract as of December 31, 2020 that is not currently
scheduled for harvest until after December 2021 (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.

High - 90 percent reliability that timber harvest will occur and stated revenue will be transmitted.
Medium - 50 percent reliability that timber harvest will occur and stated revenue will be
transmitted.
Note: Projected revenues are based on timber purchaser's logging plans as of December 2020.
These plans change with changes in the economy and the business needs of each purchaser.
Department of Natural Resources' region staff should be contacted concerning possible fluctuations
in timber harvest for sales currently under contract and the schedule of future sales on State Forest
Lands in your county.
