Weyerhaeuser's Olympia move will double truck traffic

Associated Press

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Weyerhaeuser's move next spring to the Port of Olympia will more than double daily log truck traffic on city streets in Olympia. The forest products company will add 75 trucks a day to port traffic and bring the total number of trucks visiting the port each day up to 125.

Some residents are concerned about the damage the added loads will do and who will pay for the repairs. Weyerhaeuser selected Olympia for its proximity to its one million acres of forest in southwest Washington. The port expects to earn $1.5 million a year in revenue from

the deal.
