May 22nd is Building Safety Day!

As Code Officials, we enforce the standards today that ensure our structures last for generations to come. 'Built to Last' isn't just a slogan for us, it's a promise. Building safety is the legacy we leave for the future.

Pictured is our Building Official, Chad Lindley. Before becoming an Inspector and Building Official, Chad was a Contractor. His depth of knowledge and experience are invaluable assets to the communities he serves.

“Construction is the art of making a meaningful whole out of many parts. Buildings are witness to the human ability to construct concrete things”. -- Chad Lindley, Building Official

In Memoriam: Remembering Commissioner Phil Brady

Wasco County is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of County Commissioner Phil Brady, who died on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. A lifelong resident of The Dalles, former science teacher, and passionate community advocate, Commissioner Brady dedicated his life to public service, championing vital initiatives in affordable housing, regional healthcare access, and rural community support. For the Wasco County family, his passing is a profound loss that leaves a void in local leadership, as he was a trusted voice known for bringing people together to solve complex issues. While our community mourns a kind and dedicated leader, county services will continue without interruption, and work on the initiatives he championed will carry on as we navigate this transition.
