I think this stump would be considered what’s called a “nurse tree” or a “nurse log”. https://www.americanforests.org/article/nurse-logs-healers-of-the-forest/
So the notches on the side were for platforms the lumberjacks were standing on while sawing the tree?
This is a classic nurse stump. The original tree was massive, then after it died the rotting wood fed new trees that rooted right on top of it. You’re basically looking at two generations of forest stacked together.
Are you at Sea Ranch, by the way? There was a stump like that there ages ago that the locals said was home to a "friendly demon."

Redwoods grow back from their stumps.
While youre correct those arent redwood growing out of it. Wrong bark.
My time as a near feral child tells me these look like evergreen or some type of fir tree maybe.
Possibly doug fir
Most definitely Western Hemlock.
That’s one I suck at identifying
Correct. Hemlock are a nurse species. Growing out of “nurse logs” or dead stumps
Or „tree tree“?

I was trying to figure out what i was looking at but i’m stumped 🤔

Beautiful. You can see three-generation versions of this in the forests of Yakushima.
Yeah those aren't fully grown trees. They are still growing.
Cool!
