Ban on retail marijuana sales continues in Washougal, at least through Aug. 31

After hearing more than 25 people express their opinions about the potential allowance of the retail sale, processing and production of recreational marijuana within the city limits of Washougal, the City Council did not have the necessary four affirmative votes to continue the ban indefinitely.

The matter will be reconsidered during a special council meeting Monday, Aug. 29, at 7 p.m., in the council chambers at City Hall, 1701 “C” St.
