According to your link, the Doug flag was created about 15 years before Big Lonely Doug was discovered.

Heh, yes, I mean is using "Doug" just an obvious thing to do for Douglas Firs, or is there a deeper meaning in the PNW?

"Doug fir" is a very common shorthand for Douglas fir trees, and not PNW-specific.
