La Center resident Kimberlee Goheen Elbon asks others to join her in requesting more information about Vancouver’s annexation plan

I just took all morning calling churches in the Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, and Minnehaha area to ask them to inform the people that Vancouver has put in motion an ANNEXATION PLAN for them!

This will enable Vancouver to not only be the second largest city in Washington state but will help balance their $42+ million dollar DEFICIT! I simply want the people to be made aware of this current issue.
Call the city of Vancouver and try to get an answer as to when the next Annexation agenda will be. It’s happening now – transparency is key.
A special thank you to Clark County Today for your transparency.
