Salmon’s Dam View - From Pacific Ocean To Spokane

View the Columbia River dams as the Salmon make their annual return home from the Pacific Ocean. They swim past the 4 dams along the border of Oregon and Washington. 

On past the toxic Hanford Nuclear Reactors and the legacy of atomic bomb building including the nuclear bomb exploded over Nagasaki Japan killing over 40,000 men, women, and children. 

The salmon swim past another 5 dams on their way home to Spokane. At the 10th dam, Chief Joseph Dam the Salmon find no way to swim beyond Chief Joseph - This dam does not yet have fish passage. 

How can the salmon get back home to Spokane, simple. Take a short 125 mile taxi ride the rest of the way home.
