The Puyallup River is also regulated by a series of dams, including Electron and Mud Mountain Dam. Seasonal trends show higher flows in the winter due to increased precipitation and snowmelt, while the summer months see lower flows. The river provides important habitat for salmon and steelhead trout, but is also prone to flooding during high flow events. Interestingly, the Puyallup River was once known for its abundant oyster beds, which were harvested by Native American tribes in the area.
