Parking or No Parking?

That is the Question.

Update: County Commissioners have scheduled a public hearing on the proposed changes on December 8, 10 am at the Public Service Center (1300 Franklin Street).

Clark County Public Works will be holding an Open House for public input in regards to restricting parking in the Mt. Vista neighborhood by WSU in Salmon Creek.

In 2008, a group of residents North and West of the WSU Vancouver campus asked the county to restrict on-street parking. Surveys conducted in spring 2009 showed that a majority of residents living on Northeast 147th, 148th and 150th streets and 26th Avenue favored the change.

If approved, the county would restrict on-street parking along Northeast 147th, 148th and 150th streets between 29th and 26th avenues, and on Northeast 26th Avenue between 147th and 148th streets. The restrictions would occur Mondays through Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Other roads north of Northeast 150th Street could also be affected.

If you want to be heard, or want to hear what others are saying,  the meeting will be Tuesday, August 11, 6-8 pm at the Clark County Sheriff’s Office West Precinct classroom, 505 NW 179th St., in Ridgefield.

Spirits are Up in Salmon Creek

Specialty Beer and Wine Store Coming Soon.

“There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking.” -Benjamin Franklin

If you believe good ol’ Ben, then Salmon Creek living is getting better.  Nova Wine Shop is planning on opening a specialty beer and wine store in the Salmon Creek Square, next to West Coast Bank.  No opening day set, but we’ll keep you posted.

Sushi Chiyo, which is also opening opening soon in the Salmon Creek Square has applied for their liquor license; as has Bamboo Hut next to the Salmon Creek Fred Meyer.  Looks like Salmon Creek Burgerville started a chain reaction.

Sushi Chiyo

Or is it Chiyo Sushi?

Looks like Salmon Creek eaters will be getting another restaurant to choose from  pretty soon.  Remember where Taco Del Mar used to be; right by Salmon Creek Burgerville and  Panda Express?

Well, there is a new sign in the window “Coming Soon – Sushi Chiyo”.  So, I am assuming we will now have a Sushi Restaurant in the near future.

I looked up “Sushi Chiyo” but could only find “Chiyo Sushi”.  If it is the same place, here is what they have to say about themselves…”Cool Sushi Place” and “We’re nice people with great sushi, clean and homey place and great service“.  Well, there you have it.

We’ll keep you posted as we find out more, or please feel free to post your comments and let us know what you think.

I Saw the Sign

Northside Barber has a New Sign and  New Location.

Northside Barber, previously located on Highway 99, is now up and running, er…cutting, in Salmon Creek.  There is a new sign and a new location, but the faces behind the chairs are the same.

Pam, Marci and Tammi are enjoying the new location in Salmon Creek, 1309 NE 134th Street, in the business center next to the I-5 Southbound on-ramp, and just behind the Wayside Market/Shell Gas Station.

More good news?  No new prices with the new digs.  Haircuts for every member of your family for $8 each, or just $6 for those over 62 years young.  Give a call, 573-7292, or stop by, and tell them “Hi” from their friends at Salmon Creek Live!

Stripers At Work

Possible Traffic Delays in Salmon Creek.

If you are traveling northbound on I-5 near the 205 junction in Salmon Creek between 11 am and 4 pm today, you could be in for a wait.  Crews will be striping that section of road today, and drivers can expect up to a 15 minute delay.
