Washougal voters say ‘yes’ to voting for mayor, renewing levy lid lift

The majority of Washougal voters say they would like to directly elect the city’s mayor. 

Proposition 9, which asked voters to decide if they’d prefer to elect Washougal’s mayor every four years — versus having the mayor be appointed by city council members — was passing with 55.6 percent of the votes, according to preliminary election results released by the Clark County Elections Office at 8:13 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3.
