PUD plans $150M inflatable dam across the Skykomish

  • The project would have a 55-foot-wide weir that could be inflated as high as 7 feet or deflated to the riverbed to let debris and gravel wash downstream.

    The Everett-based utility is looking at a site near Sunset Falls and Canyon Falls, about a mile south of Index. The dam would generate enough electricity for about 10,000 homes.
