List of covered bridges in Washington facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts


There are five authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Washington, though none of them are historic. 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.
