Historic LOWER TUMWATER FALLS WASHINGTON Olympia Brewery Edw MITCHELL 1900s

Description: The Tumwater Falls are a series of cascades on the Deschutes River in Tumwater, Washington. They are located near where the river empties into Budd Inlet, a southerly arm of Puget Sound in Olympia. The Deschutes River carved a course through glacier debris left after the Pleistocene ice age util it reached volcanic bedrock, forming the falls as it coursed down to Puget Sound. Tumwater Falls was the site of New Market, the first European settlement in Western Washington. It was also the site of the now-defunct Olympia Brewing Company. “Olympia Light and Power Company” constructed a dam and hydroelectric power plant at the falls in 1890. The plant powered an Olympia-Tumwater streetcar, among other things. A dam at 82 feet above sea level created a head for the powerhouse and still stands on the Deschutes River.
