Washougal sits on the north bank of the Columbia River 19 miles east of Vancouver, where the Washougal River flows down from the Cascade foothills and enters the Columbia. SR-14, the Lewis and Clark Highway, runs through the city along the riverfront, connecting it west to Camas and Vancouver and east into the Columbia River Gorge. The Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge stretches along the Columbia immediately east of the city, and the Cape Horn viewpoint above the river is one of the premier overlooks on the Washington side of the Gorge.
Washougal has historically lived in the shadow of its neighbor Camas to the west, but it has developed a distinct identity in recent years. The Pendleton Woolen Mills maintains a weaving mill and outlet store here, one of the few remaining operations of the historic Pacific Northwest textile company. The Two Rivers Heritage Museum documents the history of the Washougal and Columbia River confluence. And the city’s position at the foot of the Gorge makes it attractive to the outdoor recreation demographic that has driven growth throughout the Columbia River corridor.
The housing market reflects the city’s growth: older homes near the downtown core, a substantial stock of mid-century construction in the interior blocks, and newer subdivisions on the northern and eastern edges. Royal Moving & Storage handles moves throughout Washougal and the eastern Clark County corridor with the Portland market crew and up-front pricing.

Washougal is a city of approximately 18,000 residents in Clark County, Washington, covering about 7 square miles on the north bank of the Columbia River east of Camas. SR-14 connects it west to Camas and Vancouver and east toward the Gorge communities of North Bonneville and Stevenson. The Washougal River flows through the northern part of the city from the Cascade foothills to the Columbia.
The city borders Camas to the west, unincorporated Clark County to the north and east, and the Columbia River and the Oregon state line to the south. The Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, occupies the Columbia River floodplain immediately east of the city.
The Washougal area has been inhabited since ancient times by Chinookan-speaking peoples who used the Columbia River and the rivers flowing into it as pathways for trade, seasonal migration, and salmon harvesting. The Washougal River confluence was a natural stopping point for river travel.
American settlement of the area began in the mid-19th century. The Columbia River provided the primary transportation route, and the agricultural land on the river terraces above the floodplain was claimed and farmed by the first wave of settlers. Washougal incorporated in 1908.
The Pendleton Woolen Mills connection to Washougal dates to the company’s broader history of wool weaving in the Pacific Northwest. The mill in Washougal, one of several Pendleton facilities in Oregon and Washington, produces high-quality wool blankets and fabrics and maintains a retail outlet that draws shoppers from across the region. The Two Rivers Heritage Museum, operated by the Clark County Historical Society, documents the history of the confluence communities and the Columbia River transportation corridor.
Washougal moves vary based on the part of the city and the type of property.
The older downtown core and the blocks near the Columbia River waterfront have streets and homes that reflect the city’s early 20th-century development. Narrower streets, older homes, and waterfront-adjacent properties with limited staging space are the access characteristics of this part of the city. We confirm truck positioning before moving day for properties in this area.
The mid-century residential blocks that make up most of the city’s interior are standard in access. Driveways, established streets, and conventional layouts make these jobs efficient.
The newer subdivisions on the northern and eastern edges of the city are the most accessible. Modern streets, large lots, and attached garages give the crew clear staging and access.
SR-14 between Washougal and Vancouver carries commute traffic, particularly during the morning westbound run toward the Glenn Jackson Bridge and I-205. For moves that require the crew to travel between Washougal and Portland or Vancouver, we plan transit windows around those peak periods.
Washougal moves range from historic homes near downtown to newer construction throughout the surrounding riverside neighborhoods. Home size and street access shape the crew needed, and we put the estimate in writing before you book. The ranges below are typical starting points for a local Washougal move.
| Move size | Typical crew | Typical cost range* |

| Studio / Room or less | 2 movers | $350 – $580 |
