Pulp Fiction
From 1925 to 1963 Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Co. operated on the waterfront in Bellingham and then was sold to GP, Georgia Pacific which for the most part made a most vital and precious commodity, toilet paper. :) It was THE job to have in that wonderful town until 4 days before Christmas, 1997 when the last rolls of Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, and MD were packaged and shipped.
Inside one of the many brick buildings stood these beauties and at great expense the city was able to spare them and display them in what is now a growing park and community center and in doing so giving a nod to where the city came from with an eye to where it is going. I'm hoping Howard Ryder stops by and gives us more info as he was one of the 1,000 plus that lost their jobs that day.
I am assuming that that is an operational paper mill providing me with that wonderful steamy background and lighting, it's really something to see and along with the 13 breweries makes the trek worth it. :-)
