Join us for a pivotal reflection on Washington State's industrial history. In 2025, the TransAlta commercial coal-fired power plant in Centralia will cease operations, marking the end of general mining and power generation for coal-related activities across the entire state.
From Dr. William Fraser Tolmie's discovery of coal along the Cowlitz River in 1833 to the closure of the last commercial coal-fired plant, this event serves as a powerful bookend to a 192-year saga. This presentation will delve into the profound impact of coal on Washington's development and what this significant closure means for its future.
Thanks to 4Culture King County for helping to make this event free for all to attend.
