Washougal is currently accepting applications to fill a vacancy on its council.
Longtime councilman Jon Russell is leaving Washougal at the beginning of July to take a job with anti-abortion group Students for Life of America, based in Manassas, Va.
Application packets are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 26. Packets can be picked up at city hall, 1701 C St., or downloaded at www.cityofwashougal.us.
Vancouver Assistant City Attorney Brent Boger applied last week for the vacancy. Boger said if he were appointed, he would continue working full-time for the city of Vancouver.
Boger is the only applicant as of Monday, said Jennifer Forsberg, Washougal’s finance director/city clerk.
