Washougal

Among the cities of Washington, Washougal stands out for its position where the Washougal River meets the Columbia River, at the eastern edge of the Portland–Vancouver metropolitan area. The Columbia defines the city’s southern boundary, while the Washougal River descends from the foothills of the Cascade Range to join it near downtown. Broad river water, wooded slopes and the lower Columbia corridor shape the local setting. The Washougal woolen mill, operating since 1908 and now run by Pendleton Woolen Mills, reflects an enduring industrial tradition. Nearby Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge protects wetlands and floodplain habitat beside the Columbia.
