Glaudia Tynes and all the folks at Hobbs Wqll Lumber Co., Inc.

Weyerhaeuser Co. plans an early 1977 completion for a major new wood products wholesale distribution facility in Kent, Wa., to serve the Puget Sound area, Western Washington and Alaska.

Northern district sales manager L. R. Hornbeck said land acquisition and construction costs would be more than $1 million. It will provide expanded inventories of lumber, plywood, siding and other wood building materials for wholesale distribution to retail lumber dealers and industrial users.

The new customer service center will include a35,200 sq. ft. warehouse, a 6,800 sq. ft. storage shed and three acres of outside storage. The new facility replaces a smaller, leased distribution center which is also in the Kent area.

The complex will also include a 2,000 sq. ft. office for sales and clerical staff.
