Directions Website

The official page of the City of Washougal municipal government. Having celebrated it 100th Anniversary in 2008, Washougal still enjoys a small town appeal.

The City of Washougal is located approximately 15 miles east of Vancouver, Washington and only 20 minutes from Portland’s International Airport. Washougal traces its history to the early 1800’s when the Lewis and Clark “Corps of Discovery” spent considerable time camped on the shores of the Columbia River, near the present day site of Captain Clark Park. They remained at this location while provisioning for the arduous return trip up the Columbia River and over the Cascade Mountains. Washougal was officially incorporated in 1908 and became the site for one of the first Pendleton Woolen Mills manufacturing facilities. With scenic vistas of the Columbia and Washougal Rivers and Mount Hood - the City boasts a small town charm while situated close to the major metropolitan amenities found in the Greater Portland-Vancouver area.

REALLY THAT EASY
Kindness Citation WPD-00667

Officer Aguilar with the Washougal Police Department recently spotted Kay Adolfson walking down C street in Washougal with a plastic bag in hand, picking up garbage along her walk. Kay said she does this every day when it's not raining! Kay loves doing this during her walks because it helps keep her neighborhood clean and she enjoys the exercise.

Simplest acts can have a much larger impact than we sometimes realize. If we all took a moment to do the simple things we too would make a huge impact. Thank you Kay! Keep impacting your community one kind act at a time!

Say BOO to landfills - let's make spooky season sustainable! 🎃♻️🎃

Give your Halloween pumpkins a second life. Instead of throwing them in the garbage and sending them to the landfill, compost them to reduce food waste and nourish the earth.

Here are some easy ways to compost pumpkins in Clark County:
•Free Drop-Off: We Compost Community Hubs are available to all Clark County residents. These hubs provide the community with a free and easy way to compost all food waste (not just pumpkins). Find a hub location near you: ClarkWeCompost.org
•Curbside Compost: In Clark County (except Camas and Washougal), pumpkins are accepted in Waste Connections of Washington Yard Debris and Organics carts.
•Backyard Compost: If you have a home compost system, chop up pumpkins into smaller pieces and place into your compost pile or worm bin. If you want to learn how to compost, check out free workshops and virtual resources with the Composter Recycler program: ClarkCountyComposts.org

Remember to prep pumpkins for compost – this means that all candles, wax, glitter, paint and decorations should be removed. Tip for painted pumpkins: try washing off paint or peeling off with a vegetable peeler.
