Pacific Coast lumber makes the most of the trees

Pacific Coast Enterprises was started by Don Seawater in 1996, after more than 25 years in the lumber business.  Don recognized a raw material being generated in municipalities that, while the material might not be a commercially viable raw material, was more than adequate, and as a matter of fact, more suitable for existing non-standard and exotic material markets. Over the past 9 years, Don and his partners David and James, have worked toward establishing an alternative for wood related clients and raw materials, working closely with the California Department of Forestry and the California Integrated Waste Management Authority.  Through Pacific Coast Enterprises, Pacific Coast Lumber has found a wonderful rainbow of possibilities.
