Murray Pacific Corporation

Murray Pacific Corporation

Murray Pacific Corporation traces its origins to 1911 when Lowell Thomas Murray established the business in the Pacific Northwest timber sector. The family maintained an active tree farm near Mineral, Washington, for over a century before selling the timber assets to Sierra Pacific Industries in 2015. West Fork Capital allocates across hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, growth equity and sponsor-led private equity. It maintains positions through direct investments and external manager partnerships. Geographic focus remains North America. Confirmed holdings and relationships include prior timberland operations and ongoing commercial and industrial properties in Tacoma and Pierce County. The firm lists no disclosed AUM figure and maintains a small internal team. Additional offices are not reported. Toby Murray has served on boards including the Washington Forest Protection Association and the Puget Sound Partnership Leadership Council through 2018. Philanthropic vehicles include The Murray Foundation along with grants to the Tacoma Art Museum, Washington State Historical Society and Emergency Food Network. The structure separates the original timber operating company from the current investment entity, allowing the family to retain direct control over legacy real assets while pursuing diversified financial exposures through a single vehicle funded exclusively by family capital.
