Hanford has Plutonium from the Manhattan Project:

The potentially dangerous find was made at Hanford, Washington State, the site of a nuclear reservation, established in 1943 to support the US's pioneering nuclear weapons program.

Hanford made the plutonium-239 for Trinity, the first ever nuclear weapon test, on 16 July 1945. Just three weeks later, more Hanford plutonium was used in the nuclear strikes on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
