There's no Everett ferry, you probably took the Edmonds-Kingston ferry, then on 104 came to this sweeping downhill curve that opens up the view to the forest on both sides. I've driven this many, many times, the Google Streetview images do not show just how dramatic it is as you round the curve.

The private forest lands out there have signs like you remember, kind of like the old Burma Shave signs. They say when the forest was last logged, replanted, and when it will be logged again, with cute messages about how they are preserving the landscape.

Thank you! That looks a lot like what I remember seeing. I might have mixed up that area with the signs after seeing them at a different point on the same drive. It's really an incredible-looking area.

Yeah all those forests are clearcut three or four times over with bullshit signs about how Weyerhaeuser or some other craptastic shitty environmentally devastating timber company is “preserving the environment.”
The only reason those asswipes even replant their clear-cuts, is because of a law that was passed in the 1980’s that they fought against tooth-and-nail. They fought even harder against the riparian zone law that was passed to protect salmon spawning streams and rivers. They call it “Environmental Terrorism.” Not kidding.
