I think that’s a square less than 4 miles per side.

Correct!

640 acres per sq. mile.

10,000 divided by 640 = approx. 16 sq. miles = a square four miles by four miles.

10,000 acres = 15.6 sq miles. Small timber companies own more than that.

Near by are the Olympic National Forest = 628,115 acre (which borders) and the Olympic National Park = 922,650 acres

or
1,550,765 acres or 2,423 sq miles

There is some (or was) logging in the ONF and none in the ONP (not even blow downs). Quite a “carbon sink”.

640 acres per square mile. IIRC, they used to call that a ‘section.’ So 10,000 acres would be a little over 15 square miles if I did my math correctly.
