Cushman 1 Hydroelectric Project,
owned by Tacoma Power

Tacoma City Light built, owns and operates the Cushman Hydroelectric Project, which consists of two dams on the North Fork of the Skokomish River, located on the Olympic Peninsula near the town of Hoodsport.

Cushman No. 1, which greatly enlarged the original Lake Cushman, was built in 1924, and Cushman No. 2, which created Lake Kokanee, followed in 1930. Together, the two dams produce an average of 360 million kilowatt-hours a year, enough to power 24,000 average Tacoma homes.
