In this site:

a 326 ft Douglas-fir in Queets Valley of Olympic National Park has been mentioned. Do you think this is a reliable measurement?

Maybe they were referring to the measurement for the Doerner Fir, but had the location wrong. Because a 326 Queets Valley Douglas fir would not have been the tallest in the "Pacific Northwest".
BTW - here is a photo of the top of the Doerner / Brummit Fir, to show the condition of the top Michael was referring too. If just a matter of months or a few years until 4, 5 or 6 feet of that crumbling top falls. If not a 50 foot chunk like Michael suspects.
