Clark County Public Works, Parks and Lands, is completing a multiyear process to develop a sustainability plan for the 78th Street Heritage Farm. The plan guides how the division will implement the site’s master plan while increasing public access and improving the site’s financial sustainability. The plan was developed with participation of a steering committee and community input. The final plan will be considered by council for approval.

Posted 12/6: Clark County Public Works has closed bridge #275, which carries Northeast 112th Avenue over Salmon Creek in Brush Prairie. High water is impacting the bridge. We do not have an estimated timeline for reopening as we cannot inspect the bridge’s condition until water levels sufficiently recede. No alternate route is available for this bridge, since it is located on a dead end.
