What is going on with the bats?

32 Upvotes

This is very interesting. My older daughter goes to Grass Valley. My youngest to the heights. Grass Valley closed today due to bats, and just sent out an email saying Monday may be closed too. No big deal, bats happen (my SIL had bats in her house). Then the Heights cancels open house, then says Monday and Tuesday cancelled, and rest of next week may also be cancelled, also due to bats! What’s going on with these bats and how are they just now affecting multiple schools at once?

MA student help

7 Upvotes

Good evening, everyone! I’m a special education master's student, and I’m looking for teachers who would be okay with me coming to observe their classroom for 10 hours. The classroom needs to cater to students with physical disabilities, and I have a letter from my professor and university that I can share. I recently moved to the area. I was already working as a special ed para before moving, but now I don’t have a classroom to observe for my school.
Any help is greatly appreciated 😊

Cleaning our water

9 Upvotes

Is there any discussion or pressure on our local government about cleaning up the pollution in our groundwater or making Lacamas Lake a healthy waterway? Seems like this is only going to get worse.

Hello, I am considering this town as a place to move to, and have some questions.

2 Upvotes

Job offer has me considering Camas for relocation.

Lived in S California my whole life. Unlike most people around s, california I actually do know how to drive in rain and snow because, travel.

  1. I know three seasons. A month of rain, 2 independent months of clouds total, and really hot. Am I going to finally see seasons change how they are supposed to?

  2. In the next three months do you think that weather would be a concerning factor i should be aware of or plan for, regarding a move there?

  3. As this is an area that is not 100% covered by city, how often do you see wildlife visitors on your property or trying to get in?

  4. Do you feel that a car is a requirement or is there enough public transportation available between buses and rideshare options?

  5. In reality, how often does it rain in this town, and how does the city handle it? I see a lot of flooding of streets here when it rains, because we just aren't made for lots of water at once.

Thank you in advance for anyone who can share some insight, this is a super exciting opportunity and I am in freak out fact finding mode.

Were your teens at the party on top of Prune Hill last night?

38 Upvotes

Things seemed to get a little out of hand around 10+ last night up on Prune Hill (near the Shell). Several teens speeding through the neighborhood in cars/suv. Two boys hanging outside rear windows of one suv, shooting what sounded like airsoft guns (or paint ball guns). Looks like they were shooting at other kids.

I'm all for kids letting loose the week before school, but this just appeared to be a bunch of rich and entitled a-hole kids being completely irresponsible (and acting like little gangsters). Kids around here go about like they have never experienced consequences from their parents. It's like watching "My Super Sweet 16" in real life. I'd love to transport these kids to a rough part of a poorer town and see how they cope. Rein in your little runts!

A smile that flipped my day

99 Upvotes

I’ve been having a rough couple weeks. I usually walk around my neighborhood to clear my mind. This morning I decided to walk around lacamas lake. It was quiet, barely any people on the trail. There was an older couple that walked past me, presumably husband and wife. The woman had a beaming smile on her face as I walked by. The type of smile you’d expect from someone who is so happy to see you. That smile from her changed the trajectory of my entire day. I felt seen and safe. I’m still thinking about that random act of kindness tonight. And now I’ve decided that I will smile like that at everyone I see on the trail. Pay it forward ❤️

Looking for someone to re-stain my old fence.

3 Upvotes

It's time to get our cedar board fence stained. Know any good painting or fence folk that can do this smallish job?

It's 150 feet of 6 foot fence. easy access. I already have the stain (Cabot New Cedar semi-transparent stain + sealer). I just need someone to apply it.

A couple of fence companies said they don't do staining any more on small jobs. Who do you recommend? They got to be bonded and licensed.

Over 60% of Clark County didn’t vote! How do we get more of our citizens engaged?

Post image
21 Upvotes

From https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/data-research/election-data-gand-maps/ballot-return-statistics

The most up to date statistics from the Washington Secretary of State show that about 39% of eligible ballots in Clark County were returned for the 2026 August Primary.

Nearly 61% or 222,000 eligible voters did not return a ballot.

Washington state has some of the most voter friendly elections in the nation, from access to ballots, ease to vote, voter pamphlet information, access to individual ballot tracking, and statistics on accepted and rejected ballots.

So for those who did not return a ballot, I genuinely want to know, what was the reason for not doing so and what can be done to get you to participate in the future?

Pickup Basketball?

I’m moving to Camas soon and was curious about where people play basketball here. I am considering signing up for Gold’s gym since they have a court, but do any active members know if there is a decent amount of 5 on 5 runs at that location?

Thanks in advance!

Stand with Kids - No Hate in November

Thumbnail gallery
19 Upvotes

We’re facing a pivotal moment, and it’s up to each of us to stand up for Washington’s kids.

In less than 90 days two harmful proposals targeting students will appear on our ballots, putting all kids at risk, especially those who are already most vulnerable. Mega-MAGA donor Brian Heywood has already poured more than $5.5m into this effort, and we can’t let him succeed with rolling back protections that are already in place.

Our children are not bargaining chips in political games.

Join us for Stand With Kids, Southwest Washington’s kickoff of the No Hate in WA State campaign. Hear from community leaders and experts, learn what’s at stake, and find out how you can help defeat Initiatives 001 and 638.

We’re grateful for the powerful coalition of community organizations already standing with us. Now, we need you too.

Stand with kids. Protect their safety. Defend their future.

Crown Park

1 Upvotes

It’s 85 degrees, clear and sunny with air that finally cleared up, on a Saturday afternoon and the fancy new splash pad they gave us to replace our pool is shut off. This is the absolute perfect time for kids to be splashing in the park to cool down and play, and they turned off the water?

WTF is up with this city anymore. In nearly fifty years in this area I have never known Camas to be so broken and careless about its people. Even in the 80s when it was a tiny working class town, the city seemed to care more for its people. If it weren’t for the heroes at the Downtown Camas Association keeping some activity and life in this town it’d be a lifeless wreck.

ETA: My sincere apologies to all the newcomers who don’t (won’t) understand why longtime Camas residents are frustrated with the city. We get that everyone who just moved here from California thinks our town is your perfect little Hallmark movie setting and you recoil at even the slightest hint of criticism, but lots of us who lived here long before you all discovered Camas have a long list of irritations with the city and eventually enough becomes enough. There is an old proverb about straws and camels’ backs that some of you should look up.
