The Star - News, views and advertising of the Grand Coulee Dam Area

Timothy, left, and Kevin Spilker, of Spilker Precast of Spokane, stand by one of the large concrete blocks being produced for the 1,100-foot-long retaining wall at the new K-12 school complex in Coulee Dam. The company makes 64 of the huge blocks a day, part of the 4,000 required for the huge wall. The blocks have a stone-like facing and will be colored to correspond to the rocky walls around the area. -- Roger S. Lucas photo
