Magnesite Plant Nears Full Reopening at Chewelah
The Northwest Magnesite Co plant at Chewelah shows increased activity with over 150 workers, aiming for 300 soon. After closing in 1920 for tariff issues, it now benefits from an $11.50 per ton tariff enabling competition to Chicago. The facility, the world’s largest magnesite plant built in the war, has installed Cottrell dust-saving gear and added a steam shovel at nearby quarries, spurring a Chewelah revival as workers and families return.
