KLICKITAT & SKAMANIA CO. — It has been about 10 years since Washington Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP) housed and operated a weatherization program to serve Klickitat and Skamania county residents. For years after the program ended at the agency, staff would refer weatherization needs and upgrades to local contractors until the contractors themselves were no longer able to provide the service.

Now partnering with Northwest Community Action Center (NCAC) of Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, WAGAP will be able to provide weatherization to Klickitat and Skamania counties once more, said a press release. Funding comes from the state and provides insulation and other weatherization improvements to homeowners and renters.
