Northwest Certified Forestry (NCF) is partnering with Olympia Salvage to establish a retail location for locally produced FSC certified wood products in downtown Olympia.  Initial offerings will include alder and hemlock trim produced by the Wild Thyme Farm, cedar lumber from Wetset Enterprises and framing lumber from larger producers in the region.  Over time, the product line will become more diversified based on customer requests and product availability from NCF members.

Olympia Salvage, Olympia’s premier salvage building materials retailer, has relocated to a new warehouse in the heart of downtown.  As part of their relocation, Olympia Salvage is dedicating the central area of their new warehouse to a 'wood showroom'.  Ruben Nunez, the Executive Director of Olympia Salvage, said that supplying a variety of FSC wood products is a core focus of their new business strategy in the new location.

Olympia is home to one of the region’s fastest growing green building industries.  Residential green construction, as well as city and state green construction, has been on the increase in the South Sound for several years.  Additionally, the Northwest Ecobuilding Guild’s most active chapter is located in the South Sound.  These factors make the area ripe for supplying locally produced FSC certified wood products from NCF members.  Beyond maintaining an inventory of FSC wood products, Olympia Salvage will also provide a 'sourcing service' for contractors who need larger quantities of framing lumber, trim, flooring and other FSC wood products.
