National Forests are managed mostly according to the Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act. They are not managed with economics in mind at all. Money has nothing to do with it. Two thirds of the USFS budget is related to fire suppression. If they cared about economics at all they would be harvesting 3 or 4 times the current rate and be somewhere near the AAC, Annual Allowable Cut. Logging and thinning are how we are going to create fire resilience in the neglected National Forest System.
I have spent a lot of time in the Methow. Be careful about extrapolating your windshield cruise. The Forest Service is now treating a lot of stands near the road for people to see. Get out and hike around if you want to get a sense of forest health and management.
