There is only one Bear Creek Lumber and it was founded in 1977 by Cloud and Ela Bannick in Winthrop, Wa. Cloud and Ela moved to Winthrop, which is in the Methow Valley, in order to raise their family and live an organic, sustainable and environmentally friendly life in a small country town. In the beginning, they lived in a Tepee and Ela grew a large garden and farmed goats, chickens and sheep. Cloud first worked as a local builder, for the Forest Service and then eventually started Bear Creek Lumber.

2022 and 2021 have been challenging years for lumber supply, inventory and pricing for many people around the world, ourselves included. Because prices have been so volatile and ever changing, we have not been offering special prices for a couple of years. With the launch of our new website, we decided to try something new and offer a special discount once a month via a lottery type selection from our email list.
Your salesperson will need specific size, species, and grade information to be able to give you their best quote. This information is crucial for us to have. Our sales staff will then give you a free estimate of the cost of your order. That estimate will include shipping based on the factors discussed above, and the information entered below.

I contacted Bear Creek to order cedar and was sent an invoice for about $2000 for 250 board feet of Alaska yellow cedar including $256 for shipping. I sent a check for the entire amount. When the lumber had not arrived after 3 weeks I was told there would be an additional charge of about $300 for shipping and was told I had been sent an email advising me of the higher shipping charge (not true).
I found this unacceptable and told them to cancel the order and return my payment. When the refund had not arrived I called again and was told the check would go out in the next two days. When that did not arrive I got another story, also false. I still have not been refunded and would not do business with this company under any circumstances.

Spent $2000 for some Western Red Cedar to be shipped to me. 15% of it was in lengths shorter than what I asked for. About 30% of it was waste - so badly gashed as to be worthless. I emailed photos of damaged boards. The worst part is the sales guy (Gregg) and the owner of the company (Sy) didn't care enough to offer any discount. Pretty lousy experience.
