Some cool bookish things about Kate:

Maren is originally from Idaho. After finishing school in Utah, she moved to the PNW. She has lived in Camas for 8 years now with her family and loves to be able to call this city and area home. Maren has always loved visiting libraries, taking her kids to story time and weekly trips to carry out armfuls of books. She loves reading cookbooks and food memoirs, lots of fiction including magical realism or historical fantasy.  Her happy place is in the kitchen baking, listening and dancing to music. She loves to hike or run on trails, especially in Lacamas.

The City of Camas’ Finance Department is once again receiving awards. Camas was recently awarded the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the City’s 2025-2026 Biennial Budget.

Fire is fast. Would you have time to escape a home fire?

Did you know a house fire can become deadly in as little as two minutes? Fires burn quickly and are more deadly today because of what we have in our homes. Our furniture and belongings are made of plastics and synthetics that make fires burn faster – and they produce deadly smoke. Common unprotected lightweight building materials, flooring and open designs can cause fires to spread quickly.

Brooke was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. She loves the seasonal rain, evergreen trees, and exceptional bodies of water that surround the Pacific Northwest.

When not in school, or at the library, she can be found enjoying time with her husband and their two dogs. She loves paddle boarding, baking bread, crocheting, collecting vinyl records, traveling the UK, and agate hunting. She prefers non-fiction narrative memoirs and anything related to medieval history.
