Pacific Silver Fir is native to the Pacific Coast region from Alaska south to western British Columbia, to western Oregon and locally in northwestern California (Siskiyou County). It grows from about sea level in the western limits of its range, to 6,000 feet in the Cascades. This tree prefers cool, wet regions. It is often found in the coastal fog belt and interior mountain valleys in coniferous forests, and is the dominant fir in the Olympic Mountains of Washington.
