Students in Jocelyn Aldridge's second grade class at Cape Horn-Skye Elementary School showed their excitement about plans for a natural play area in Washougal Waterfront Park. The children indicated their preference for a sculpture of an ogre or Bigfoot instead of a log and net climber. "The ogre is different," said Port Finance Director Kim Noah. "People will want to come back to Washougal, to see it again and promote tourism." (Photo contributed by Kim Noah)

That piece of art — whether it be a monster in fairy tales or Sasquatch — is expected to become a reality, in Washougal Waterfront Park, after money is raised.
