Upper Selah Bridge (2nd)
Posted January 13, 2018, by Dave Cox

there was a predecessor bridge but it was not built in this location. There are two pictures of a previous wooden bridge built in the Yakima Valley museum that was built around the present sportsman park off of Olivio Rd at the end of the Selah Gap.
