Trader Joe’s to open new Clark County store

Trader Joe’s plans to open a new store in Salmon Creek, just north of Vancouver, the grocer announced.

The company said the new store would open at 14019 N.E. 10th Ave. in the new Skyview Station shopping center. The retailer, however, did not disclose the new store’s expected opening date.

“We don’t yet have a timeline to share,” said Nakia Rohde, a spokesperson for Trader Joe’s.

Last Chance On Abrahams Park Survey Feedback

Abrams Park offers many options for recreation and is rich in Ridgefield history. As the city continues to grow, there is a vital need to update existing city parks, such as Abrams, to better serve our community now and into the future. The City of Ridgefield is developing a Master Plan that will outline a long-term vision for Abrams park. Understanding the community’s needs, values and vision for the future of Abrams Park is key to the Master Planning process.

Please join us in creating a long-term vision for Abrams Park. Share your values and vision regarding the future of our park by completing our survey by February 2.
