CAMAS — Many people view algae blooms as a problem too big for any one person to solve. Emily Jiang saw an opportunity to prove that one person still could make a difference.
Kristen Decker grew up on a farm in Camas and always considered herself a cowgirl. Yet her feet burned with discomfort every time she wore the signature boots.
At a recent gathering, my friend Barbara asked me if I knew where to get edible flowers. She wasn’t having luck finding them in stores. I immediately thought of farmers Kelly Peters and Patrick Dorris of Flat Tack Farm. I’ve been a member of their community supported agriculture program for years and I know that they often offer them. On a visit to the Vancouver Farmers Market, I found the flowers my friend was seeking. It made me realize that one of the many great things about the farmers markets in Clark County is that they’re treasure troves of beautiful and interesting food and drink that can’t be found in a grocery store.
Compensation packages for chief executives at Clark County’s six publicly traded companies varied widely in 2025, with two local CEOs’ compensations ballooning into eight digits.
Downtown Camas will celebrate comics, science fiction, fantasy and pop culture during the fourth annual Camas Comic Con from 5-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, as part of the city’s First Friday festivities.
To Leah Nichelson, downtown Camas was once a place people passed through, not a destination. She remembers being dropped off at the Liberty Theatre as a child to see a movie, then heading home past boarded-up storefronts and mostly empty sidewalks.
The Port of Camas-Washougal will spend the next year exploring ways to attract new industries, lower operating costs for businesses and reduce waste as part of a state-funded initiative promoting a concept known as industrial symbiosis.
Judging by the theaterless wastelands that Seattle documentarian Rustin Thompson has traversed, moviegoers in Clark County have a lot to be thankful for. Here, there are two thriving yet differing independent cinemas, the Liberty in Camas and the Kiggins in Vancouver, that together offer a rich variety of entertainment — from shameless blockbusters to artsy obscurities, from historical classics to rock concert films and live in-person community events.
For most people, retirement is a time to slow down. For six Clark County singers, it’s become a chance to step into the spotlight.
Camas residents will have an opportunity next month to learn more about a potential change to the city’s form of government and share their thoughts during a town hall meeting 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, at the Camas School District’s Zellerbach Administration Center.
