Mason County Sheriff's Office - NOT in Oregon......
This movie's town and lumberyard scenes WERE shot in Oregon (Vernonia). HOWEVER - the town is intended to be Shelton, WA. The courthouse and sheriff's headquarters for Mason County Sheriff is in Shelton, The Mason County Deputies - complete with authentic uniforms and patches - depicting a christmas tree and with MASON COUNTY prominently displayed - are in WA. The Washington State Patrol Trooper, who was infact a serving trooper in Shelton at the time, was wearing his own uniform for the movie - complete with WASHINGTON State Patrol insignia. Several commenters have stated the police officers are Oregon officers of some sort from an oregon town. Totally incorrect. However portions were shot in vernonia as a stand in for Shelton. (apparently vernonia makes a better shelton, than shelton. lol.)
