Weyerhaeuser Snoqualmie Mill


This is the superheater of the powerplant of our old friend Weyerhaeuser's Snoqualmie Mill. Its purpose was to heat wet steam into superheated (500 °C) dry steam, with little liquid water content. Unlike other power stations I've toured, this one was fired by wood waste instead of coal.

Nowadays, the only tenant of the 315-acre mill site is DirtFish Rally School.
