Timberland LLC to Present Revised Glamping Proposal to Clallam County

Jianli Zhang and Sean Wood, the visionaries behind Timberland LLC, are taking a fresh approach with a revised glamping proposal for Clallam County following the rejection of their original plan last spring. Their scaled-back project now envisions an 11-site glamping development along La Push Road, carefully designed to address previous environmental concerns. This ambitious plan spans three phases over six years, beginning with primitive tent sites outfitted with basic amenities, transitioning later to fully equipped glamping cabins. As the project progresses, Timberland LLC will implement essential infrastructure and adhere to stringent environmental guidelines, including a 200-foot setback from the Sol Duc River and a 50-foot tree buffer. Fire safety measures and community-friendly policies, such as enforced quiet hours, are also part of the proposal, ensuring a harmonious balance between development and nature.
