Ninebark apartment proposal meets SEPA requirements

A Portland-based real estate developer’s plans to construct a 242-unit multifamily residential development on the Washougal waterfront moved forward last week after the city of Washougal determined that the project does not pose any significant adverse environmental impacts.

Community development director Mitch Knieipp concluded that the project, which proposes development activity within the shoreline area, riparian habitat buffer and 100-year floodplain of the Columbia River, meets all State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requirements, according to the city of Washougal.
