After graduating from Washougal High School, Shonna Roberts went to college, worked as a hazardous materials specialist and sales and marketing representative, married and had a child. On paper, at least, her life was good. But the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused her to re-think some things.

Welcome to Hyas Point: Washougal waterfront development has a new name

From its inception in the early 2010s until earlier this month, the Port of Camas-Washougal’s Washougal waterfront development project was unnamed. Most of the time, Port officials and project leaders colloquially referred to it as “the waterfront development,” or by its more formal, but still unofficial, moniker, “The Waterfront at Parker’s Landing.”
