Snoqualmie Falls: A Legacy of Natural Wonder

Snoqualmie Falls is a perfect marriage of nature and technology. Here, in the late 1800s, a civil engineer named Charles Baker built the world's first totally underground hydroelectric plant. His subterranean venture harnessed the power of this 270-foot-high waterfall to generate electricity for a growing Puget Sound region. And now, more than a century later, Puget Sound Energy is upholding Charles Baker's legacy with a comprehensive redevelopment of the Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project. This is video is the first part of the redevelopment story.
