The Centralia Canal, also known as Centralia Power Canal, is a canalinThurston and Pierce counties, Washington, United States.[1] It is the only feature named a canal in Western Washington.[2] The canal parallels the Nisqually River for 9 miles (14 km) in and around the city of Yelm. It was built in 1929 to supply water for the 12-megawatt Yelm hydroelectric project belonging to the city of Centralia's City Light Department.[3][4]

Part of the canal runs through the Nisqually River Conservation Area, purchased in 2020 by the Nisqually Land Trust.[5][6]
