The City of Washougal is located approximately 15 miles east of Vancouver, Washington and only 20 minutes from Portland’s International Airport.  Having celebrated it 100th Anniversary in 2008, Washougal still enjoys a small town appeal.

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.
