Cushman Dam
There are so many great
things to see in the Olympic Penninsula.
The Brinnon, WA area is particularly enjoyable. On the list of “must sees” is the Cushman
Dam. One of the first major dams in the Pacific Northwest , Tacoma Power's Cushman Dam No. 1 was
officially dedicated in 1926 when President Calvin Coolidge pressed a button in
the White House to energize the project. The dam is on the North
Fork of the Skokomish River near Hood Canal . It is 275
feet high and 1,111 feet long. For more information and to schedule
a tour, call Tacoma
Power 253-502-8759.

What a beautiful time to be at Hood Canal – October and November are my favorite. It is quiet, most of the summer buzz has passed and it is beautiful. Last weekend was sunny – we do get quite a lot of sun in the October / November time frame around here. Even when it rains it is beautiful. We ate at the Halfway House Restaurant and as usual it was amazing. Their pie is the best in the area – I ate the coconut cream and it was yummy. We explored the beaches and just sat and relaxed. Anyone looking for some down time, this is the place for you. Reflect, relax and enjoy. We discussed the writing of our book – we think this will be the perfect setting to write our best selling book that we expect to complete within three years. We stayed at the Triton Cove Beach Home which provided excellent accommodations!
