The Nooksack Giant was a superlative Douglas fir that grew at Loop's Ranch (now Alpenglow Farm) in Maple Falls in Washington State. It was felled in the 1890s. The tree was measured with a tape after felling at {{convert|465|feet}} tall, and {{convert|34|feet}} in circumference. It produced more than 96,000 board feet of lumber.[1] The New York Times regarded the tree in a March 7, 1897 issue as the "most magnificent fir tree ever beheld by human eyes" and called its destruction a "truly pitiable tale" and a "crime".[1][2] The Morning Times of February 28, 1897 said that the wood, sawed into one-inch strips, would reach from the tree's location to China.[3] References1. ^1 {{citation|title=Giant logged long ago but not forgotten|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=September 4, 2011 |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/life/giant-logged-long-ago-but-not-forgotten/}} {{Douglas firs}}{{coord|48.915|N|122.113|W|type:landmark|display=title}}{{Tree-stub}}{{Washington-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1897/03/07/102093447.pdf|publisher=The New York Times|title=Topics of The Times|date=March 7, 1897}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024442/1897-02-28/ed-1/seq-19/|publisher=The Morning Times|title=This tree might reach to China|location=Washington, D.C.|date=February 28, 1897|page=19|via=Library of Congress}} 4 : 1890s in Washington (state)|Whatcom County, Washington|Individual trees in Washington (state)|Individual Douglas firs |
