the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such documents and the documents incorporated by

<p ALIGN="CENTER">PART II</p>

<p ALIGN="CENTER">INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT</p>

<p>Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.</p>

<p>The following documents listed in (a) through (c) below are incorporated herein by
reference and all documents subsequently filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &quot;Exchange Act&quot;)
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents:</p>

<p>(a) The Registrant's Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year end December 27,
1998, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act as amended; which contains audited financial statements for the
Registrant's latest fiscal year.</p>

<p>(b) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant document referred
to in (a) above. </p>

<p>(c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in a registration
statement filed under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports
filed for the purpose of updating such description.</p>

<p>Item 4. Description of Securities.</p>

<p>Not applicable.</p>

<p>Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.</p>

<p>Not applicable.</p>

<p>Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</p>

<p>The Registrant's By-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or employee of the
corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent and in the
manner set forth in and permitted by the Business Corporation Act of the State of
Washington (the &quot;Act&quot;), and any other applicable law, as from time to time in
effect. Section 23B.08.510 of the Act, as amended, authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation to grant, subject to certain limitations, indemnity to its directors and
officers against reasonable expenses actually incurred in defending litigation against
them in their capacities as directors and </p>

<p ALIGN="CENTER">2</p>

<p>&lt;PAGE&gt;</p>

<p>officers. This indemnity to directors and officers is sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for
expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to
section 23B.08.560 of the Act, the scope of the indemnification to the Registrant's
directors and officers includes a right to indemnification for all expense, liability, and
loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually incurred by any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Pursuant to the
Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, if the Act is amended to authorize
corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the Registrant will be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the amended Act. The Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation
also implements section 23B.08.320, which permits a corporation to limit the personal
liability of directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages. The
Registrant may also indemnify and advance expenses under RCW 23B.08.510 through 23B.08.560
to an employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to
a director.</p>

<p>The Registrant has obtained and maintains a standard form officers' and directors'
liability insurance policy insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities
for certain acts or omissions while acting in their official capacity including liability
under the Securities Act of 1933.</p>

<p>Item 9. Undertakings.</p>

<p>(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

<dir>
  <dir>
    <p>(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
    post-effective amendment to this registration statement:<dir>
      <dir>
        <dir>
          <dir>
            <p>(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
            1933;</p>
            <p>(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
            of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
            individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set
            forth in the registration statement; </p>
            <p>(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
            previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
            information in the registration statement; </p>
          </dir>
        </dir>
      </dir>
    </dir>
  </dir>
</dir>

<p ALIGN="CENTER">3</p>

<p>&lt;PAGE&gt;</p>

<p>provided, however, that paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.

<dir>
  <dir>
    <p>(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
    each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
    relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </p>
    <p>(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
    securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.</p>
  </dir>
</dir>

<p>(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </p>

<p>(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered
with the prospectus to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
annual report to shareholders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and
furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver,
or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the
latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus
to provide such interim financial information.</p>

<p>(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</p>

</dir>

<p>Ladies and Gentlemen:</p>

<p>Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the &quot;Act&quot;), which is being filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Weyerhaeuser Company, a Washington corporation (the
&quot;Company&quot;) on or about October&nbsp;29, 1999 (the &quot;Registration
Statement&quot;) relating to the registration of shares of Weyerhaeuser Company Common
Stock (the &quot;Shares&quot;), which will be issued in connection with the Plan of
Arrangement among the Company, Weyerhaeuser Company Limited and MacMillan Bloedel Limited.</p>

<p>I have examined and am familiar with the Registration Statement and such documents and
records of the Company and other documents as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of
this opinion. In giving this opinion, I am assuming the authenticity of all instruments
presented to me as originals, the conformity with originals of all instruments presented
to me as copies and the genuineness of all signatures.</p>

<p>Based upon and subject to the foregoing and giving regard to legal considerations I
deem relevant, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and that,
upon the due execution by the Company and the registration by its registrar of such Shares
and the issuance and sale thereof by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
and the receipt of consideration therefor as contemplated in the Registration Statement,
such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.</p>

<p>I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.</p>

<p>Very truly yours,</p>

PART I
The document(s) containing the information specified in Part I of Form S-8
will be sent or given to participating employees as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such documents and the documents incorporated by
reference herein pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof, taken together,
constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents listed in (a) through (c) below are incorporated herein by
reference and all documents subsequently filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents:
(a) The Registrant's Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year end December 27,
1998, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act as amended; which contains audited financial statements for the
Registrant's latest fiscal year.
(b) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant document referred
to in (a) above.
(c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in a registration
statement filed under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports
filed for the purpose of updating such description.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's By-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or employee of the
corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent and in the
manner set forth in and permitted by the Business Corporation Act of the State of
Washington (the "Act"), and any other applicable law, as from time to time in
effect. Section 23B.08.510 of the Act, as amended, authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation to grant, subject to certain limitations, indemnity to its directors and
officers against reasonable expenses actually incurred in defending litigation against
them in their capacities as directors and
2
<PAGE>
officers. This indemnity to directors and officers is sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for
expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to
section 23B.08.560 of the Act, the scope of the indemnification to the Registrant's
directors and officers includes a right to indemnification for all expense, liability, and
loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually incurred by any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Pursuant to the
Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, if the Act is amended to authorize
corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the Registrant will be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the amended Act. The Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation
also implements section 23B.08.320, which permits a corporation to limit the personal
liability of directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages. The
Registrant may also indemnify and advance expenses under RCW 23B.08.510 through 23B.08.560
to an employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to
a director.
The Registrant has obtained and maintains a standard form officers' and directors'
liability insurance policy insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities
for certain acts or omissions while acting in their official capacity including liability
under the Securities Act of 1933.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
    post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
            1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
            of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
            individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set
            forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
            previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
            information in the registration statement;
3
<PAGE>
provided, however, that paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
    each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
    relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
    securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered
with the prospectus to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
annual report to shareholders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and
furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver,
or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the
latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus
to provide such interim financial information.
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration on Form S-8 of Shares of Common Stock, par value of
$1.25 per share, of Weyerhaeuser Company
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), which is being filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Weyerhaeuser Company, a Washington corporation (the
"Company") on or about October 29, 1999 (the "Registration
Statement") relating to the registration of shares of Weyerhaeuser Company Common
Stock (the "Shares"), which will be issued in connection with the Plan of
Arrangement among the Company, Weyerhaeuser Company Limited and MacMillan Bloedel Limited.
I have examined and am familiar with the Registration Statement and such documents and
records of the Company and other documents as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of
this opinion. In giving this opinion, I am assuming the authenticity of all instruments
presented to me as originals, the conformity with originals of all instruments presented
to me as copies and the genuineness of all signatures.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and giving regard to legal considerations I
deem relevant, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and that,
upon the due execution by the Company and the registration by its registrar of such Shares
and the issuance and sale thereof by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
and the receipt of consideration therefor as contemplated in the Registration Statement,
such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
