Giant Cedar Stump, Roadside tree stump attraction in Snohomish County, United States.
Description
The Giant Cedar Stump is a tree remnant on display at a rest area in Snohomish County, measuring about 20 feet across. The remains come from a western redcedar that once reached roughly 200 feet in height.
History
A fire destroyed the base of this thousand-year-old tree in 1893, killing it and ending its long life. The stump later became a roadside tourist attraction that has drawn visitors for over a century.
Culture
The stump represents a piece of logging history that shaped Washington's early development. Visitors encounter a tangible reminder of the massive trees that once filled these forests.
Practical
The stump sits at the Smokey Point rest area off Interstate 5 at exit 207, making it easy to access from the highway. You can stop, view the display, and use the full facilities available at the rest area.
Did you know?
The stump has been relocated multiple times, moving from its original spot in the forest to different highway locations before settling at its current rest area home. This journey reflects how the region transformed from wilderness to a modern highway corridor.
