Coverage takes in city council decisions, the Clark County courts and Vancouver Public Schools and Evergreen School District alongside the healthcare, technology and manufacturing employers shaping the metro economy. From Esther Short and Fruit Valley to Arnada, Felida and Salmon Creek, neighborhood coverage extends into Skamania County and Multnomah County where stories cross the line. Vancouver's position just north of Portland ties development decisions, commuter infrastructure and housing costs to the broader Portland metro's growth patterns in ways that return consistently to city and county planning debates.
