<p>Members of the Stimson family relocated their logging business from Michigan to Seattle in 1889, purchasing timberlands and an existing lumber mill on Salmon Bay, in Ballard. The company supplied their mill with logs from properties throughout the region. Here, at a Stimson logging camp in western Washington, a group of loggers pauses in their work while Everett photographer George W. Kirk takes the photograph. Kirk was based in Everett between 1898 and 1901.</p>
