History

Recently a local sawmill was shut down, causing the community to lose 342 more jobs. Aberdeen was nicknamed "The Hellhole of the Pacific", or "The Port of Missing Men", because of its high murder rate. The project was aborted in 1982, doubling the unemployment rate almost overnight. Mill owners hired Filipino and Jewish immigrants to keep wages low in order to stay in business . The timber industry continued to boom, but by the late 1970s most of the timber had been logged.
