Sports and clubs on the line in Washougal and Woodland school districts. School sports and clubs hang in the balance in two Southwest Washington school districts as voters decide on tax levies in April.

These clumsy-flying guys and gals especially love roses, hops, wine and juice grapes – they even like cherries. The invasive Japanese beetles – smaller than a penny – have been found munching their way across western Oregon’s Washington County. And there’s a hotspot in the Yakima Valley in Grandview.
