Ridgefield’s new 160,000-square-foot Costco warehouse will open Aug. 29, according to the retailer’s website.
Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue recently conducted fire sprinkler inspections. Fire marshals also checked shelving and storage configurations, according to Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue’s Facebook page.
As the third Costco in Clark County, the business is expected to generate $700,000 per year in local tax revenue and provide 300 to 400 jobs, according to the city of Ridgefield. The new Costco is at 519 N. 56th Place, near Pioneer Street and Interstate 5.
The Union Ridge Town Center project includes the warehouse and adjacent fuel station, along with 13 commercial, food service and retail buildings on approximately 80 acres.
One of the food openings will be Washington’s first In-N-Out. The California burger fast-food chain hasn’t announced a date for opening but is also planning a Vancouver location.
