Cushman Hydro Project

For more than a century, the Cushman Hydroelectric Project has generated clean, renewable electricity on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.

Located near Hoodsport in Mason County, the project includes Cushman No. 1 Dam (1925), Cushman No. 2 Dam (1930), Lake Cushman and Lake Kokanee, three powerhouses, recreation areas, and fish and wildlife programs. Tacoma Power works with the Skokomish Indian Tribe, state and federal agencies, and other partners to balance renewable energy generation with environmental stewardship and recreation.
