Wenatchee bridge named in honor of Senator Sellar

By JOURNAL STAFF

The state Route 285 Columbia River Bridge in Wenatchee was rededicated last week in honor of 12th District Senator George Sellar.

The span is now called the Senator George Sellar Bridge. It was officially re-named March 15 by the state Transportation Commission while Sellar was near death, suffering from cancer and pneumonia.

The official dedication, including a ribbon cutting and the unveiling of a brass plaque that will be mounted on a concrete bridge approach, was delayed until Sellar’s recovery would allow his participation.
