Council approved the increase, from $25 in 2018 to $50 in 2019, during the regular meeting after the workshop. The fee increase had also been discussed during the council's Sept. 24 workshop.

Washougal companies will pay twice as much for an annual business license, starting in 2019, as the city seeks additional revenue.
