List of covered bridges in Washington
(Redirected from List of covered bridges in Washington (state))
There are five authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Washington, though none of them are historic.[1] A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.
