City of Washougal

City of Washougal 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.

Today, we remember September 11, 2001, and the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day.

We honor the victims, first responders, service members, and countless others who showed extraordinary courage and compassion in the face of tragedy.

We reflect on the strength of our communities and the importance of coming together.

DYK Washougal consistently earns high marks nationally for customer service and resident satisfaction?

At a recent City Council meeting, we recognized four employees for reaching important milestones with the City:
• Karen Frantz — 5 years
• Officer Riley Miller — 5 years
• Scott Randall — 25 years

Five years of service is something to be proud of, and 25 years represents an extraordinary commitment to the City and the people of Washougal.

We’re grateful for the experience, dedication and care that Karen, Riley, Scott and Thad bring to their work! They’re part of what makes Washougal a great place to work and serve.

The Washougal City Council has begun a national search for the community’s next City Manager following the announcement that current City Manager David Scott will retire in spring 2027. The City aims to have a new City Manager in place by mid-March 2027.

GMP Consultants, a national executive search firm specializing in public-sector leadership, is leading the process. The firm will conduct a broad recruitment to identify qualified candidates from across the country. The Council chose a national search to provide a transparent, competitive process and ensure all qualified candidates receive fair consideration, including any internal candidates who may apply.

“Investing in this professional national recruitment process reflects the City Council’s shared commitment to bringing on the best next leader to help guide Washougal into the future,” said Mayor David Stuebe.

The City Manager leads Washougal’s municipal operations, oversees City departments and implements the policy direction set by the elected City Council.

The City will share updates as the search progresses, including information about finalists and the selection process. Residents can find updates on the City’s official website at https://www.cityofwashougal.us.
