Facelift for Washougal social services building

The city of Washougal’s deteriorating social services building is about to receive a facelift.

City officials have agreed to use a $700,000 state grant, a $226,500 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and $32,000 from Washougal’s coffers to fund a two-phase remodeling project for the social-services building that houses the East County Family Resource Center, which provides child and family counseling, youth programs and parent classes via its parent organization, the Seattle-based Children’s Home Society of Washington.
