And just like that, life as we knew it has completely shifted.
Considering the fact that the national Humane Society estimates there are more than 3,500 brick-and-mortar animal shelters in this country and about 10,000 other animal rescue groups and sanctuaries, it’s pretty impressive that Washougal’s West Columbia Gorge Humane Society is one of 55 animal shelters selected to take part in a project spearheaded by Jackson Galaxy, star of the Animal Planet show “My Cat from Hell.”
When news broke in April 2019 that Washougal residents Wes and Diane Hickey had donated a prime piece of downtown Washougal real estate to the future Washougal library, local library lovers rejoiced.
For the shortest month of the year, February certainly was packed with an extraordinary number of highly charged Camas-Washougal news.
After any big election — and especially after one in which a public bond measure failed as spectacularly as the Camas community-aquatics center did when 90 percent of voters shot it down in the November 2019 election — it’s natural for people to play the “I told you so” game and want to rewrite history a little bit.

We’re not even to February, but it already seems like 2020 has had more than its fair share of devastating news.
As evidenced at a recent legislative town hall at the Port of Camas-Washougal and in online conversations posted during the November 2019 general election, issues surrounding Camas’ projected growth — including questions about where (and if) that growth should occur — have become a hot topic for longtime locals and newcomers alike.
A front-page story in today’s Post-Record details the troubles one Washougal business has had since a fire ripped through the strip mall it calls home nearly three months ago.
