Random Lengths News

Guided by the principles of free speech and a free press, Random Lengths delivers a diverse range of words, ideas, thoughts, and reflections in various lengths and widths. Our name is inspired by the history of San Pedro Bay, where lumber schooners from the Pacific Northwest used to arrive regularly to unload their shipments. The timber they transported was often cut to what was known as “random lengths and widths,” a phrase that remains in use within the lumber industry today. Random Lengths reflects this rich heritage of the harbor and the communities that have been built around it.
