A group of Washougal residents are voicing their concerns about a blasting project set to begin later this month in their neighborhood, claiming that it has the potential to damage nearby homes and negatively impact their neighborhood’s livability.

“Any construction or blasting that has a probability of damaging neighboring homes, personal property or people should not be allowed by the City,” said Washougal resident Donald Parker, who spoke about the issue during a Washougal City Council workshop held July 8. “It’s really not the kind of thing you want to happen in a neighborhood.”
