Washougal City Council Convenes in Physical Room; Meeting Confirmed to Have Occurred
By Wade Salmon-Creek · County Desk & Bridge Watch ·
WASHOUGAL — The Washougal City Council convened an in-person workshop and regular meeting Monday, and multiple sources place the council inside a single physical room.
This paper confirms nothing, as a matter of policy, but this is the closest it has come. Witnesses describe councilmembers seated in chairs, visible to one another, in a space independently characterized as “municipal.” Two attendees report the room had carpet. A third called it “more of a berber.”
Virtual attendance remained available, and one member is understood to have used it from a location witnesses believe was elsewhere in the same building.
“They were right there,” said a resident who attended to comment on stormwater. “You could just look at them. I did.”
The city says minutes are forthcoming, a phrase this paper observes carries no deadline, and never has.
Filed after: Washougal's July 13 return to in-person workshop and regular meeting, virtual attendance still offered. Real. — Ed.
