White Salmon Mayor David Poucher says he will not seek re-election this fall. Poucher is in his 12th year in the position, and said in a statement to local media that “it was time to pass the baton to another person.” Poucher said his goals when he first took office were to end the water moratorium the state had imposed on the City, stabilize and increase municipal water rights so White Salmon could grow, and increase the production of water to supply the needs of citizens. He says those were accomplished in a way that included listening to all residents. Anyone who wants to run for Mayor in White Salmon will be able to file with the Klickitat County Auditor the week of May 13.
