Description: The Satsop Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant, located in Elma, Washington, is a fascinating and eerie site with an interesting history. Originally part of the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) project in the 1970s, construction of the plant was halted in the 1980s due to financial difficulties and changes in energy demand. The site features massive, unfinished cooling towers and other industrial structures, creating a unique landscape that has since been repurposed for various uses, including as a business park and a filming location for movies and TV shows. The plant stands as a stark reminder of the ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful nuclear power expansion efforts of that era.
