Tokul Soils
Tokul's claim to fame comes from Tokul soils, which are among the most productive soils in the world. These soils support Douglas Fir and other conifer trees, which are the source of Washington’s nickname, “the Evergreen State.” The State of Washington has hundreds of soils that are influenced by volcanic ash. These “volcanic” soils are used for crop production, timber production, livestock grazing, recreation, and watershed. Most areas of Tokul soils are used for timber production, but some of the smaller areas are used as pasture and for urban development. Tokul soils are limited as sites for homes. Water perches above the dense glacial till during wet periods, making steep slopes unstable.
