Chehalis

Staunch opposition from Tribes, basin residents and conservation groups prompts Washington Governor Jay Inslee to demand a pause—and an alternative.

The Chehalis River’s wild fish are at risk. Please tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that you do NOT support building a dam. We need solutions that solve both flood and fish issues.

The math behind a proposed Chehalis River dam just doesn’t add up. This spring, residents will have the opportunity to demand a better solution for people and fish.

For centuries, the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis have lived in partnership with this important river and the fisheries it provides. Will Lewis County listen to them, or ignore history—and dam the Chehalis?

Washington’s Chehalis River is slated for a dam which would inundate key Chinook spawning grounds and damage the hydrology of the river. We’re determined to find a better solution.
