Priest Rapids Dam

Priest Rapids Dam is a hydroelectric, concrete gravity dam located on the Columbia River between Yakima County and Grant County in the U.S. state of Washington. The Yakima Firing Range and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation are in the immediate vicinity of the dam. The dam is 24 miles (39 km) south of the town of Vantage, and 47 miles (76 km) northwest of the city of Richland. It is located at mile marker 397.1 from the mouth of the Columbia. It is owned by the Grant County Public Utility District (PUD). Priest Rapids, for which the dam was named, are now submerged beneath the dam's reservoir.

Priest Rapids Dam is part of the Columbia River Basin system of dams.
