Notes
  • Significance: The three electrical transmission line towers between Pasco Kennewick are the earliest known effort to span the Columbia River, by aerial means, with electrical lines strung between steel frame towers. The Yakima Valley Power Company (YVP) initiated construction, but it was purchased by Pacific Power and Light Company (PPL). The towers were determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
  • Survey number: HAER WA-118
