SEATTLE -- A woman who managed outside vendor contracts for Weyerhaeuser and the woman's sister have been accused of embezzling $481,000 from the Federal Way company.  Auditors discovered the employee was making payments to a contractor with her sister's name.

Former Weyerhaeuser employee Dyana Magno Cabuang of Tacoma and Lena Adriano De La Fuente of Des Moines were charged Tuesday in King County Superior Court with theft. They're due in court next Thursday to answer the charges.

The employee who had worked for Weyerhaeuser for 24 years resigned in October when she was questioned about the payments.
