Mossyrock Dam Open House

Now’s your chance to walk across Washington State’s tallest dam and get up close to a generator in a hydroelectric powerhouse. Tacoma Power’s Mossyrock Open House will take place on May 7. We don’t charge a fee, but ask that you bring canned or boxed food as your admission. TPU’s volunteer program, Community Connection, aims to host a record-breaking food drive at the Open House to support the Lewis County Food Bank Coalition. Some of the most useful donations include peanut butter, canned tuna and baby formula. On the dam tour, you will: 

  • Experience stunning views from the top of the dam
  • Learn how we generate clean, renewable electricity for 78,500 Northwest homes
  • Enjoy snacks and an opportunity to participate in activities during the stop at Mossyrock Park

Buses leave every 15 minutes from the Mossyrock bus barn, 545 Williams Street in Mossyrock, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tours will be limited to the first 1,200 people. Take Interstate-5 South to Exit 68 and head towards Mossyrock.
