BACK TO CONCRETE PORTFOLIO Portland Cement Company in Cement, Washington. The town was originally named Baker. The Portland Cement Factory created a new town next door. Cement provided the raw meterials for the three dams on the Skagit River. Eventually the towns of Baker and Concrete merged, and the citizens chose the name Concrete for the new town. The words were painted on the silos for the movie This Boys Life, which is an autobiography about a boy who lived in Concrete.
