Ancient Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) tree that researchers used radiocarbon dating to estimate the tree died approximately 1,800 years ago! The likely story is that a Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake caused the forested land surface to sink several feet and be buried in sediment carried in by the River, preserving the wood until it was exhumed when excavating new tidal channels for a habitat restoration project.
