Crane looms large over hotel expansion

It may be temporary, but Blyn has its own kind of skyscraper. A 115-foot-tall tower crane via Idaho-based Rocky Mountain Crane & Equipment Rental arrived last week, one the larger tools put to use in the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s $40 million hotel expansion at 7 Cedars Casino. Tim Cummings of the Sequim-based T&D Contracting said his company is operating the crane, one that has a 148-foot boom and almost 5,000 pounds in counter-weights.
