Western Wood Products Association

The West Coast Lumber Manufacturer's Association was incorporated in 1911 in Centralia, Wash., with the merger of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturer's Association, the Southwest Washington Lumber Manufacturer's Association, and the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturer's Association. The new trade association, headquartered in Tacoma, Wash., represented the Douglas fir industry, then centered in western Washington. By 1916 the organization had become the West Coast Lumbermen's Association (WCLA), and its offices moved to Seattle, Wash. During the 1920s and 1930s, the center of lumber production gradually shifted from Washington to Oregon, and in 1946 the WCLA transferred its headquarters to Portland, Or. In 1964, the WCLA merged with the Western Pine Association to form the Western Wood Products Association, and the WCLA ceased to exist in 1969.
