It’s a river again.
After nearly eight decades as more or less a creek, the North Fork of the Skokomish River – a branch of the Hood Canal tributary all but wiped out by the construction of the Cushman Hydroelectric Project in the 1920s – has water flowing through it once more.
Even more help is on the way soon as a result of a historic settlement agreement reached early this year by the Skokomish Tribe; Tacoma Power, which owns the hydroelectric project; and numerous state and federal agencies.
