My how things have changed. I lived in Camas in the 1950's up until I was 12 years old and then moved to Vancouver in 1964 for 4 years. I remember almost being ashamed to tell my new Vancouver friends that I was from Camas. That paper mill used to have a bad reputation for stinking up the town and burning your lungs out. I breathed a lot of it, I was told it was sulfur. There used to be a joke about people going to the beach, digging clams, and then throwing them out as they drove through Camas, thinking they had spoiled. Nope, just the stinky paper mill. The schools were good even back then (I went to Central, Oak Park and Garfield) and yes, competitive. My best memories include playing little league there and going to the Liberty theater for the free matinee for kids on Saturdays. I guess I am glad it is such a desirable place to live now, but I think the mill definitely needs to come down, toxins cleaned up and something nice built there that people can be proud of. That would be really nice (although expensive, you're right).
Oh, how things have changed! It is interesting how it went from rags to riches. Hopefully there will be a day where it is 100% removed. Thanks for watching
Please do your homework on the mill. The only "stuff" coming out of the mill is steam from the dryers. As for soil pollution, please contact the downtown association. The have a committee working with the Washington department of ecology on any spots in the mill that will need future cleanup. Thank you.
Thanks for commenting and watching. This is my general two cents, I dont pretend to be a mill expert and I'm not planning on becoming one, lol. Your username implies you work in an industry related to air quality? "AirTech"
Yes, I spent decades working to make sure the "material" coming out of the stacks was in compliance woith state and federal laws. I know you did not mean to malign the mill, but we have taken a lot from the newcomers over the years. Several years ago the Southwest Washington health district did a study to inform the public about long term effects of living in Camas V other towns in Clark county. When they came back a month later they said the study showed that the average life span was six months longer in Camas. I lived in Camas before the big housing boom and I would not have put my children at risk if I thought there was a safety issue. Sorry for the long rant. It's that I have heard all the stories over the years.@@LivingInVancouverCamasWash
Thanks for commenting and watching! Vancouver proper for sure has 2000 sqft houses (many of them) in this price range. I would say Camas will have less options, however this is still in the budget right now. When do you hope to move and where do you live currently?
@@LivingInVancouverCamasWash I live in Seattle area but will not move until within the next 5 to 10 years. Vancouver WA has been my main interest for a while now. I have looked at all the possible areas of interest including overseas. Vancouver WA has the critical components - west coast close to Asia, close to Portland International Airport, still close to Seattle where my other family members live, closer to California where my mom lives, Portland is a pretty good city despite the homelessness (no different than Seattle), Vancouver probably has less crimes than Seattle, etc. etc and home prices isn't as high. However, I am just worried the house prices will eventually spike more as more as people find out this region and I could be priced out by the time I am ready to move. So I have been monitoring and hoping.
@@etvow That is great, and I agree with pretty much everything you said! You can for sure bet that prices here will increase over 5-10 years, this is a growing part of the country. By how much, only time will tell!

When they started the "digital society" they found out we used a lot more paper!
What do you mean?
@@LivingInVancouverCamasWashEveryone was told "When everyone has a computer, we will use no paper". The opposite happened.
@@lylejohnston4125 I certainly still use paper! But I also use a lot of tech
This is why when I apply for jobs I have to apply online. I hate that. I like paper applications instead of online applications.

Wow. The mill is the reason for the town. The mill is much smaller than it was. All the stink is gone. It's not going away totally. :).
Thanks for your transparency

Thanks for the info :) @@airtech0
How's Camas dating scene? Seems like one would have to go to bigger city?
I would say not super vibrant, as this is an area with a lot of families and people who have already settled down. Maybe check out downtown Vancouver!
Well # 13 but of course.

I am really inclined to move to Vancouver area. I just hope I can buy a decent 2000 sqft house for about $750K by the time I am ready to move.
