In case you missed them, here are some of the top stories from the week:

Clark County Fairgrounds will be one of mass COVID-19 vaccination sites in Washington

OLYMPIA — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday announced a plan to set up vaccination sites statewide with help from the National Guard and others as part of an overall goal to vaccinate 45,000 people a day.

Inslee said while the goal is currently higher than the current allotment of vaccine the state is receiving from the federal government — 100,000 doses a week — the state is working to get the infrastructure in place now for that amount once doses increase. The state is currently vaccinating between 13,000 and 15,000 people a day, he said.

PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center to become in-network for Kaiser

Starting in July 2021, PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center will become an in-network hospital for Kaiser Permanente Northwest members.

That agreement means Kaiser patients can receive care at PeaceHealth Southwest for emergent and other medical care, according to a Kaiser press release.

Georgia-Pacific to raze 11 unused buildings near downtown Camas

Georgia-Pacific is planning to demolish 11 buildings no longer in use near the entrance to downtown Camas by early next year.

The planned demolitions cover the Camas Business Center, a development lab and nonwovens manufacturing plant — roughly 100,000 square feet worth of structures. The buildings are located around 1101 N.W. Ash St. and 349 N.W. Seventh Ave., just north of the main Camas paper mill site.

Late Judge Robert Harris’ desk to go in new Hazel Dell recovery cafe

Michael White was looking to get rid of an old walnut desk set he had in his garage.

The retired pastor ended up trading it for hamburgers.

Camas native, singer Jimmie Rodgers dies at 87

Jimmie Rodgers, the pop star from Camas who worked in the local paper mill before his sweet voice brought success in the 1950s and 1960s with hit tunes like “Honeycomb” and “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine,” died Monday.

He was 87 years old and living near Palm Springs, Calif., according Sharon Newberry Martell, one of several Rodgers relatives who still live in Camas.
