This is an image from my trip to Republic in 2019. Republic is a town in northeastern Washington State surrounded by desert, hills, mountains, lakes and rivers. The area is intersected by the Columbia River about 100 miles north of the Grand Coulee Dam. The Grand Coulee was a mythical name to me as a child--we'd go off in our green Chevy station wagon to camp in eastern Washington. I didn't know anything of the issues of the dams and the displacement of tribal lands and whole towns, of the destruction of salmon spawning in some 1100 miles of river and tributaries.
