| Description |
English: By the 1920s, most of the forest near Puget Sound had been logged, and the mills had followed the loggers inland towards the Cascade Mountains. The Preston Mill Company, in the Raging River Gorge between Issaquah and Snoqualmie, Washington, was one of the larger mills in King County. Swedish immigrants settled in the area in 1890 and opened the mill in 1896. It ran continuously until the late 1940s. This 1920s photo, taken by Clarke Kinsey, shows a group of workers at the Preston Mill Company gathered outside the lumber camp's mess hall. The man seated sideways on the wooden ramp has been identified as James Mattson, the mill's foreman. The women in the photo probably worked in the mill office or kitchen. C. Kinsey no. 2.
