So cool. Constructed beginning in 1977 and stopped in 1983 this nuclear plant was 76% complete but due to a $961 million budget shortage the towers were never completed. It is a training site now for various businesses but it's so cool to see what would have been. Also, it's weird that they didn't know they were missing like almost a billion dollars to build this joint. Anyway, it's a nice stop while in Elma.

Cooling tower at Satsop Nuclear Power Plant

A slight detour from Highway 101 but the abandoned Satsop Nuclear Plant is still relatively close to the highway as far as detours go. You can see how close it is from 101. The Satsop Nuclear Plant was a nuclear facility that never became operational. I'm a child of the late Cold War Era and whenever I see cooling towers like this it makes me want to run the other way. Lol! Since this facility never became operational the general public can pretty much go right up to the towers. The area is not completely abandoned though. There is a business park that is here as well. The Satsop Plant has had a number of films shot on location here like The Hunger Games, Divergent and Transformers: Age of Extinction. Music videos have also been filmed here as well. The attraction is free so that is cool but despite the ability to get "pretty close" the security team for the company that is at the business park may get suspicious and there is no trespassing....so explore but don't explore. ;) Weekends are pretty dead in the industrial park but you know....you didn't hear it from me. Lol!

This is one of the reactors.

This is worth the detour if you enjoy eerie and creepy destinations. We happened to arrive on a dreary day, and the rain and fog created an interesting atmosphere. We enjoyed driving around and taking photos at the reactors (no trespassing, though). A few tricks randomly showed up and followed us around, so we think there is active security. It was totally awesome, though.

Cool for the kids, pictures and education, bet most people didn't even know we had an abandoned nuke site even in the NW!

Kurt Cobain's Childhood Home

Kurt Cobain's Childhood Home

(3 reviews)

I have seen a couple of Nirvana documentaries of Kurt Cobain's earlier life that show his childhood…read morewhen he lived in this house. While passing through Aberdeen, I decided to do a mini Nirvana pilgrimage and check out the town that Kurt Cobain grew up in. After spending time at Kurt Cobain Memorial Park near Young Street Bridge, I walked over to his childhood home. The house is just around the corner. It has been refurbished and it is gated off. Someone else currently lives here, so all that you can do is take photos from the sidewalk. Cool historic place to check out, especially if you grew up a Nirvana fan like me. But there is not much else to see or do.

Kurt Cobain was born and grew up in the Washington coast harbor town of Aberdeen WA. This is where…read morehe lived from 1968 to 1984. It was purchased by Lee and Danielle Bacon in 2018 from the Cobain family. They paid $225,000...a bargain considering that the cardigan Cobain wore in 1993 on the set of "MTV Unplugged" sold at auction for $334,000. The Bacons have restored the home to appear as it would have while Cobain lived there. At the time of this review, you cannot go inside, but plans are in the works to make private tours available in the near future. Tours will begin about 1.5 miles away at a soon to be opened Nirvana tribute lounge and gallery cafe as zoning does not allow the home to operate as a traditional museum. It's great to see Aberdeen finally beginning to embrace Cobain's contribution to music history. Fans travel great distances from all around the world to find Cobain's beginnings and pay tribute in the town that helped to shape him. Just a few days prior to writing this review, the Aberdeen City Council unanimously voted to make February 20th (Cobain's birthday) Kurt Cobain Day.
