"Stay at Home" Compliance Complaints

In a press conference on March 30, Governor Inslee again requested "non-essential" businesses and citizens to comply with the stay at home order.

The Washougal Police Department’s response to these types of complaints, if received, is through education. We will inform citizens and businesses they need to comply with the order and the reasons for the compliance.

If a complaint is regarding a non-compliant business, please file a complaint via the Washington State online complaint form available here.

If you are filing a complaint on an individual or private group (non-business) with an officer, please contact our police department @ 360.835.8701

As the saying goes "pride runs deep" and it certainly does within the Washougal Police Department. We are proud of our community and our efforts to make Washougal a safe, peaceful place to live, work, and visit. It is my goal that the citizens of our community be equally proud of their Police Department.
