Old GP Bellingham Picture
Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 4:52PM Probably no one who reads my blog* will find this interesting, but I found this cool hand colored picture of the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber company today while I was doing some furniture shopping in my neighborhood. PSP&TC in Bellingham was eventually bought by Georgia Pacific, and I produced an oral history documentary "Smells Like Money" about the history of the plant, back in college.
Here's the picture, which is currently for sale at Area 51... for only $495! And if you're interested, the DVD of "Smells Like Money" is for sale at Village Books in Bellingham for a much more affordable $15.
*does anyone read my blog?

Yes, along with your mom, we read your blog. That picture is sweet. GP had these smoke stacks or something that involved lage mesh like filters. Except they were about 5' in diameter with maybe 3mm diameter holes throughout. Anyway, one was sitting in front of the Equinox studios. I got a few not very good pictures of it. But then about a month ago someone stole it. So I guess you never know where a bit of GP will end up.
