Washington Iron Works Picture Gallery

- Washington Iron Works was founded in 1882 at Seattle Washington and built steam-logging equipment first, making the transition to diesel in the later 1920s.
- Like so many others in the timber industry, they succumbed to the poor economy of the 1980's and are gone today.

- If you see or suspect a mistake or mis-identified machine PLEASE leave a comment! I'm not a know-it-all and I sure could use your help with this!
- ALSO- If you know a machine personally, worked around it, or anything- please add a comment or a story! Your input would be greatly appreciated!

- These galleries are a work in progress. I have thousands of images I am trying to upload- so check back often!

From Jim Fay via emai: "I've been enjoying your pictures on your web page about Washington Ironworks. I worked for them in the early 60's and my grandfather worked there from the 30's to the mid 60's. Also my great uncle was a supervisor."

a message from Kevin S.:
OK...This site has caused me to daydream for hours recalling days of setting chokers, chasing and pulling rigging under a 208. Thanks for the memories & keep up the good work. You really do have some outstanding photos and I find the ad's to be especially interesting!
Guest 08-Jul-2011 05:53
