U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited Washougal Friday, July 7, to tout the city of Washougal’s 32nd Street underpass project, which he said will reconnect the community, improve safety, help freight move more efficiently and ensure first responders can get to those in need.
