About the Community Market Pilot Program
The Washougal Community Market supports one of the City’s strategic goals: fostering a vibrant town center. This pilot allows the City to evaluate interest, gather community feedback, and determine the feasibility of establishing a permanent, recurring market.
The initiative was inspired by growing community interest—including from councilmembers, local farmers, and artisans—and guided in part by insights from Jordan Bolt, who previously directed a Washougal market and now leads Vancouver’s Market.
