Group aims to beautify stretch of Highway 14

First, East County Citizens Alliance (ECCA) volunteers launched an ongoing effort to pick up litter from state Route 14 (Highway 14) between Camas and Washougal. Then, they formally “adopted” the stretch of road through the Washington State Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway program.

And now, the Washougal-based nonprofit organization is preparing its next highway project, which promises to be bigger — and more colorful — than ever.
