Hey all, newbie here in western Washington. I need some help identifying this load I got. The person I got it from had no idea what kind of tree it was. When picking it up I thought it was alder. Smooth bark and red heartwood, looked similar to another load of alder I had but after cutting into it I'm not sure. It stinks like cow manure and is way heavier and harder to split than the other alder I have. The lady provided me with a pic before the tree was taken down as well.

Ask the lady if the tree flowered with a white flower in spring. If so, maybe Wild Cherry but that doesn't smell bad.
