Lake Cushman History
Lake Cushman History
One of the first major dams in the Pacific Northwest was Tacoma Power’s Cushman Dam No. 1, dedicated in 1926, when President Calvin Coolidge pressed a button in the White House to energize the project. The dam is on the North Fork of the Skokomish River near Hood Canal. It is 275 feet high and 1,111 feet long. Lake Cushman has a 23-mile shoreline.

Lake Cushman is a 4,010-acre (16.2 km2) lake and reservoir on the north fork of the Skokomish River in Mason County, Washington. The lake originally was a long narrow broadening of the Skokomish River formed in a glacial trough and dammed by a terminal moraine from the last ice age, during the Vashon stage.
Historical Background Tacoma Public Utilities established its municipally owned electricity service in 1893, when it purchased the privately owned Tacoma Light and Power Co. By the beginning of the 20th century, the utilities district had begun looking to build new sources of power generation. Tacoma Power, a division of Tacoma Public Utilities, completed construction of its first dam, the LaGrande Powerhouse on the Nisqually River, in 1912. The Cushman project began in1919 in response to the demand for more power that followed the economic and housing expansion after WWI. Under the direction of Ira S. Davisson (commissioner, 1918-1940), Tacoma Power built Cushman Dam No. 1 to provide hydroelectric power to the city of Tacoma. Construction began in 1924 near Potlatch on the North Fork of the Skokomish River, Washington. At times the construction project employed as many as five hundred men.
Using a "concrete arch" and "gravity and embankment" design, the structure consists of ninety thousand cubic yards of concrete, with a top width of eight feet and a base width of 50 feet, at 275 feet high and 1,111 feet long. Lake Cushman sits behind the dam, with 23 miles of shoreline. The design diverts water through a pipe connecting the reservoir to a powerhouse on Hood Canal. Hydroelectric power travels on a forty-mile transmission line, which includes a suspension across the Tacoma Narrows strait in Puget Sound, spanning 6,244 feet of water.
Cushman Dam No. 1 was activated on March 23, 1926, with the push of a button by President Calvin Coolidge in a ceremony at the White House. A second, smaller dam, Cushman Dam No. 2, was completed by December 1930.
The Antler Lodge at Lake Cushman
The Antler Lodge at Lake Cushman
The Antlers Hotel sat at the edge of Lake Cushman, with a backdrop of virgin timber and the Olympic Mountains, Dally said. It was constructed of hewed logs, had large bay windows and a rustic, but elegant interior, with a set of deer horns placed in each room. Homan and Hopper opened the Antlers on June 15, 1899.
The Antlers ceased operation at the end of the tourist season of 1922 and was burned and destroyed in 1925. The remains of the hotel disappeared under 160 feet of rising water from the new dam. Homan did remain in the area and built a new home partially from lumber taken from the Antlers, furnishing it with items from the hotel.
