Crews from GRO Outdoor Living provide landscaping services at the future Black Pearl event center, on the Washougal waterfront. Kimberly Sherertz, a Black Pearl trustee, expects the 12,000-square-foot building to be completed in mid-July, and the first event is booked for August.

The large building that has been vacant for seven years on the Washougal waterfront will be the site of several events this year, starting in August.

Kimberly Sherertz, the trustee of the Black Pearl Event Center, said there are bookings for a Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Women in Leadership lecture, as well as a brewfest, Tango and Tapas, a corporate holiday celebration and a Christmas Ships viewing party. The Washougal High School prom will be held there in April 2019.
