In 1886, the Port Blakely Mill Company joined forces with several Puget Sound area mills to start the Pacific Pine Lumber Company. Pacific Pine Lumber set quotas for regional mills and established lumber yards in the San Francisco Bay area. In 1897 the Pacific Pine Lumber Company went out of business and their affairs were taken over by another firm to form the Pacific Lumber Company, with offices on Market Street in San Francisco. This firm in turn went out of business in 1907.
