Camas resident Ellen Fanale opened My Mother's Closets vintage store in Washougal in October. "I try to have the lowest consignment rates that there are," said owner Ellen Fanale. "I want an assortment of things, because my taste is depression glass and 50s jewelry. I have enough stuff to fill a store 10 times over, but (I want to) get more diverse merchandise."

Ellen Fanale wasn’t happy after moving to Camas from southern California in 2013. Dealing with Type 1 diabetes and other illnesses, she refused to get out of bed on most days. She stayed only because her husband, Sal, said he didn’t want to move again.

“I was miserable here,” Fanale said.
