Pursuing their passions
Passion.
Passion.
In what may be a surprise to some, East County Fire and Rescue officials have recently reached out to Camas-Washougal Fire Department leaders hoping to explore expanded partnership opportunities.
This weekend, more than 700 seniors will graduate during ceremonies that will be held for all four of the area's high schools -- Camas, Washougal, Excelsior and Hayes Freedom.
Citizens living within Washougal School District boundaries have a unique opportunity to get involved in planning the district's future.
The Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce has selected an accomplished group of honorees this year as part of its annual awards.
What began nearly a decade ago simply as a First Friday Art Walk, has slowly been transformed into an event that appeals to people of all ages and interests and draws crowds to downtown Camas.
The daily ringing of the paper mill's Westminster chimes will have special meaning when they echo through downtown Camas on Saturday.
Today marked the first official campaign announcement made by a Camas-Washougal elected official about their intentions to run for re-election this year.
Two weeks ago, Washougal Mayor Sean Guard announced that he planned to spend seven days -- 168 hours -- camping next to the railroad tracks at 32nd Avenue and Main Street.
According to the Clark County Arts Commission, "The arts hold the power to inspire and enlighten. They influence the economy by creating jobs and ancillary services, stimulating tourism and raising tax revenues. The interdependence of artists supporting local businesses that have supported them is a win-win situation."
