Jolly Green Giant-West of Dayton on the hillside behind Blue Mountain Station
Columbia County has a long, rich agricultural history. Nestled in the South Palouse, wheat, pea and other fields still frame this valley. The Blue Mountain Cannery opened in 1934. The Jolly Green Giant company settled into the valley in 1950 and left in 1978 when the cannery was purchased by Pilsbury. In the early 90’s, the Giant’s image was created by a group of nostalgic locals on a steep hillside West of town. As tall as a football field, the Giant still looks over the valley. The story of the Giant can be found in the book, Washington Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff.

A massive wind turbine blade headed for the Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility, near Dayton
The Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility is Puget Sound Energy’s first Wind Farm in SE Washington State. Installation began in 2005. The facility covers 11,000 acres of land northeast of Dayton in Columbia County. With a capacity of 157 megawatts, the 87 turbines at Hopkins Ridge produce an average annual output of about 456,000 megawatt hours, sufficient to power 40,000 households.The Lower Snake River Wind Facility is Puget Sound Energy’s newest and largest wind-power operation. Completed in early 2012, the facility is the largest wind farm, to date, in Washington. The operation builds on the success of PSE’s two prior wind-power developments: the Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility in Columbia County, and the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility in Kittitas County. With 773 megawatts of combined power-generating capacity, the three wind farms make PSE the largest utility producer of wind power in the Northwest and second-largest in America.

A classic red praire barn
One of the most common barns in the American landscape, prairie barns (aka Western barns), were the barn of choice for farmers in the West and Southwest because large livestock herds required great storage space for hay and grain.These large, wooden barns provided plenty of storage space for feed and could house livestock if necessary. Long roofs that often reach nearly to the ground created ample space; these barns were built throughout the 1800s as agriculture spread westward. The prairie barn is similar to the Dutch barn with regards to the long, low rooflines and the internal arrangements of animal enclosures on either side of a central, open space.
