Students in the Portland State University master of urban and regional planning program attended the First Friday festivities in downtown Camas, to ask area residents what they like to do outdoors. Responses included hiking, fishing and biking. The grad students also interacted with the public Saturday, during the grand opening of Hartwood Park, in Washougal. The students are tasked with developing a vision for the waterfront that connects and complements downtown Washougal.

Six Portland State University graduate students are partnering with the city of Washougal and the Port of Camas-Washougal to create a plan for the waterfront.

Project Manager Shannon Jamison and Engagement Coordinator Julia Metz spoke during the March 4 port commission meeting.
