Wander Clark County: Parkersville
July 16, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
$8
One of the oldest incorporated communities, Parker’s Landing began in 1845 when David C. Parker staked his claim amongst the Chinook-speaking Indigenous community and named the area Parkersville. By the 1870s, merchants had purchased much of the land neighboring Parkersville, giving rise to the community known today as Washougal.
