9 hope to fill vacant Washougal council seat

The nine applicants for the vacant Washougal City Council seat include the chef and co-owner of a downtown Washougal cafe and two previous candidates.

Alexandra “Alex” Yost, co-owner of OurBar, recently served on the Washougal Citizens Advisory Committee, which recommended to council that it place a measure on the Nov. 6, 2018 ballot to have voters decide whether to change Washougal’s form of government from mayor-council to council-manager. Yost is also a co-founder and volunteer with Washougal Round Table, a citizens group involved in short term projects that bring long term change.
