Washougal recreation trail nabs $1M in state funding

Runners, walkers and bicyclists can plan to enjoy using a new trail in Washougal, starting in the summer of 2019.

The recently approved $4.2 billion state capital budget, which was stalled from the 2017 legislative sessions, includes $1 million for use toward the construction of the Columbia River Trail. The remaining funds for the trail, $518,870, will come from city park impact and traffic impact fees.
