Construction of the Satsop Nuclear Power Plant began in 1977 and was halted in 1983 after a $61 million budget shortfall, leaving the plant 75% complete. The twin cooling towers that are part of the unfinished plant are a well-known landmark in the area.

Satsop is located just east of the Satsop River. Both the hamlet and the river were named after a local Native American tribe. [5]
