This was taken near Bordeaux, WA and possibly in the 1930's time frame that Chuck Brodish mentioned in his query to me. It is entirely possible that it could be one tree in several pieces.

(Google Books has been a priceless research tool). The tallest documented "historical" tree I have so far found was: A huge Douglas fir cut down in 1897 at the Alfred Loop ranch, at the fork of Boulder Creek in the Cascade hills of Whatcom County. This tree was measured at 465 feet tall, and about 11 feet in diameter at the butt end, (33 ft 11 in circum.) and 220 feet to the lowest branch. The tree scaled 96,345 feet of lumber and was estimated by ring count to be 480 years old. 465 is pretty close to 480, so it gives some reinforcement to the alleged height.
