The locals in Forks, Washington once told me, proudly, that the spruce
for the Spruce Goose came from trees cut along the lower Queets River,
*And* that it was necessary to get a special dispensation to cut timber
from the recently-established Olympic National Park.

Can anyone who's in-the-know confirm or refute this?
