Hello! We are a newly family of four. Our first is 7 and we just got home with our second. We're typically homebodies but feel the need to get out for some scenery. Anything in the Vancouver area (WA side as we've had enough Portland in the last week to last us a few years) that would be good?

Glad to see some improvement. I still don't trust the department, but they're making progress.

Such a tragic incident! Glad to see the police wearing body cams though.

What’s all the buzz about? We’re celebrating National Pollinator Week at Clark Public Utilities with our first-ever Pollinator Festival on June 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

More than 25 agencies, organizations, universities, artisans and local businesses are participating in this free outdoor festival located at our Operations Center at 8600 NE 117th Ave, Vancouver, WA.

Festival visitors can enjoy a pollinator garden tour with our friendly staff and learn how to provide food and habitat for the many varieties of pollinators native to Clark County.

Best-selling author, professor and advocate Doug Tallamy will share his hopeful presentation on the simple solution for transforming our yards into conservation corridors for wildlife. Get a copy of Nature’s Best Hope at the festival (while supplies last), or bring your own, for Doug to sign after his talk.

This family-friendly event will include crafts and activities for children. A demo beehive offers a close-up look at bees. Farmers market booths, seminars with local experts, food trucks and music will add to the fun.

Mark your calendar for this lively community celebration of some of the hardest working organisms in the animal kingdom. Dress for the weather and bring your hat, water bottle and some friends!
