A group of Washougal residents are hoping the Washington State Arts Commission will soon name their city a certified “creative district.”

The 10-person group of city of Washougal arts committee members, artists and business owners started working on the city’s creative district certification application in the fall of 2024 and said they plan to submit the application to the state’s arts commission by the end of this month.
