Unhappy about Washougal utility rates I don't know if you have noticed, but Washougal residents' water, sewer and storm water bill has gone up and will continue to do so each year from 2011 to 2015. The people living outside of the city limits will be paying even more.

A brewery and pub in downtown Washougal? It's a concept that has been mentioned often when discussions have focused on what types of businesses might do well in the local area.
In Camas and Washougal, the sounds of trains passing through our communities have become almost commonplace. Each day we see and hear them go by, often as we wait for the train cars to clear local BNSF railroad crossings.

It's hard to believe that it's been nearly a decade since the Jack, Will and Rob Youth Center opened its doors to the Camas community.
