About Washington State Located in the Pacific Northwest, it is bordered by Canada on the North and Idaho on the East. The Columbia River marks a large portion of the boundary with Oregon on the South, and the Pacific Ocean is on the West. Clark County also shares this Columbia River border. The City of Portland Oregon is located directly south across the river from Clark Counties City of Vancouver, both cities are often referred to as the " Portland Vancouver metro area". The climate East of the Cascade Mountains is much drier than is Western Washington. Much of the land is used for dry farming. Irrigation has converted many of the river valleys east of the Cascades (especially the Yakima Valley and the Wenatchee Valley) into garden areas. This region contains most of Washington's vineyards; from the 1980s the state has developed an important wine industry. Washington leads the country in the production of apples, sweet cherries, and pears and is a major wheat producer, chiefly in the hilly Palouse area of southeastern Washington.

Welcome to Clark County Clark County is located in the Southwestern corner of the state and borders the Columbia River which also separates the Washington and Oregon state borders for many hundred miles. Clark County was named for Captain William Clark of Lewis and Clark Expedition fame. Our county is one of the fastest growing regions in Washington State and in the nearby Portland Oregon, metropolitan region. Battle Ground is centrally located in Clark County in the Southwest portion of Washington State. It is a small, fast growing community. It is located at the foot of the Cascade Mountains and only fifteen minutes from both I-5 and I-205. Battle Ground has a vibrant business community and its strategic central location in Clark County can only assure its growth.

North Clark County The City of Yacolt is located in North Clark County. Yacolt Washington is a quiet rural setting Northeast of the City of Battle Ground. This beautiful section of Clark County is not for those seeking the conveniences of other densely populated areas of Clark County. Yacolt offers a peaceful solitude that puts one a "bit" closer to nature and a slower pace of life.
