| Contextual Notes | Lake Sawyer Lumber Company was in business ca. 1922 to ca. 1934, headquartered in Issaquah and with logging operations near Kent.
A log dump is a section of water where logs are sorted. Logs are easier to sort in the water because they can be pushed around. Generally, they're shipped to a mill from there, via booms hauled by tug boats. Sorting is done according to grade, species, etc.
