A food co-op in Washougal?

Area farmers, a restaurant owner and others interested in providing fresh produce to local residents want to gauge the community’s interest in supporting a co-op grocery in downtown Washougal.

Alex Yost, co-owner of OurBar in downtown Washougal and a member of the Washougal City Council, started the newly formed “Shougfood” group that is spearheading efforts to provide the community with year-round access to organic, sustainable and healthy food from local farms.
