Vote YES by April 25, 2023 to support our great schools!
Get involved: We’re gathering contact info for folks interested in helping support the PAC as we work to pass these levies and avoid major cuts due to a double-failure.
Sign Waving Link
The Washougal Citizens for Schools PAC needs your help with sign waving! We will have signs at 32nd and Evergreen (Jack in the Box parking lot) and Washougal River Road and E Street (Los Dos Compadres 2 parking lot). It is a good idea to dress in comfortable clothes, bring lots of positive energy, and a big smile. Feel free to bring someone with you! We have two time slots per sign waiving event, 5:00 – 5:45 PM and 5:45 – 6:30 PM. Please plan to be at the location of your choice for 45 minutes. .
Levy Canvassing Sign-Up
Canvassing involves going door-to-door in Washougal neighborhoods and having conversations about the upcoming WSD replacement levy with community members. We have estimated that ballots will be mailed the week of April 3 so we are planning April 1 and 8 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM as our canvassing dates. We have identified roughly 2,000 Washougal households with likely voters. It is a good idea to dress warm, bring lots of positive energy, a big smile and a friend.
Meet at Bethel Community Church (1438 B St, Washougal, WA 98671)
Our Goal: 100 volunteers to knock on approximately 20 doors each across the two weekends. With enough volunteers, we can make sure everyone has the info they need to participate in the election.

Replacement EPO and Capital Levies
The Washougal School Board has authorized two replacement levies for the April 25, 2023 ballot. These levies support great, safe, and warm schools for our kids.
Learn more about the levies in the FAQ, and share the word with neighbors about how voting YES maintains small class sizes with the great teachers and staff our community expects in our schools.
We need to make sure everyone in Washougal votes YES by April 25, so get involved! Follow us on Facebook to learn more about the get-out-the vote work we are leading.
What do the levies do?
The levies are replacements, not new taxes. School districts in the state of Washington rely on local voter support to provide staffing and programs beyond what the state provides. The EP&O Levy funds 18% of our school district’s budget. This provides many of the programs that make Washougal schools great places for our kids to learn.
The Capital Levy continues voter support for technology in our schools, and begins adding capacity in 2025 and 2026 to keep our schools in great shape. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 25 years since WHS, Cape, Canyon Creek, Gause, and Hathaway were remodeled. The Capital levy will provide modern security systems for schools, keeping students and staff safe as they learn. The Capital levy will also fund replacing the roof at WHS, heating systems at many of these schools, and the control systems to keep classrooms warm places to learn. Additional funds will support replacing worn-out carpet and vinyl flooring so our schools are clean and bright!
A YES vote keeps students safe, schools warm, and sets Washougal students up for a bright future!
We need your support! Use the links to sign up for volunteer activities, and help us make sure that our friends and neighbors in Washougal know how important support for kids and schools are, and that they vote YES!
