PORT ANGELES — The state Department of Fish and Wildlife is building a $2.1 million facility to preserve the endangered Elwha River Chinook salmon.
The 5,550 square-foot facility, to be completed in December, is being built as part of the $308 million project to remove the two Elwha River dams and restore the stream back to its natural state.
It is paid for by the National Park Service, and construction began about three weeks ago, said project manager Ray Berg.
