Born and raised in Hawaii, Grace made a big move to Camas sight unseen in 2021. The first place she and her family visited was the Camas Public Library, which made them feel right at home.

In this video update for November 2023, Camas Mayor Steve Hogan discusses:

Sheila was born and raised in Kentucky, the oldest of six girls.  She joined the U.S. Air Force after high school, and as a result, saw and lived in some very interesting places.  While serving in the Philippines, she met and married the love of her life, and now has three lovely children and an amazing granddaughter.

“Don’t Wait to Inflate” reminds drivers that keeping tires properly inflated is safer for people and salmon. Checking tire pressure monthly and adding air if needed improves road safety, tire wear and gas mileage and helps keep toxic pollutants out of our waterways.

New studies show a chemical in tire rubber called 6PPD-q is killing coho salmon. By keeping your tires properly inflated you can reduce tire dust and protect salmon and Puget Sound. Visit DontWaitToInflate.org to learn more.
