In 2019, La Center resident and Washougal native Katie O’Daniel began to seriously think about her career options. For the past few years she had been a stay-at-home mom, but with her son about to start kindergarten, O’Daniel, who had previously been a nursing assistant and hospice worker, decided she wanted to join the workforce again.
When O’Daniel told her mother, Camas resident Stacie Blomdahl, she was going to accept a job as a food deliverer while figuring out her long-term plan, which would ideally involve owning a small business, Blomdahl said Camas needed a food-delivery service.
