Elwha River dams unleash century of sediment
Make dam a tourist attraction
The Elwha River pours through the gap in Glines Canyon Dam. Elwha Dam, 8.6 miles downstream is already gone. (GREG / THE SEATTLE TIMES)
The remains of the Glines Canyon Dam are a beautiful piece of history [“Elwha gnawing away at a century of sediment,” NWSunday, March 17].
The Elwha River is flowing freely now. Why do we need to spend millions to remove this historic artifact? Put a safety rail on the top of what’s left and it will be a fine tourist attraction.
–Allan Bommer, Seattle
