The City of White Salmon has entered into a real estate agreement for the purchase of the “Walker House” at 245 W. Jewett Blvd.   The city says it would like to purchase the home in order to preserve the historic significance of the structure to the city’s history, and to also create a gathering place for the community.  The real estate agreement provides a 150-day due diligence period.  The City will be conducting inspections of the property including structural and electrical, conducting an appraisal, and determining how the purchase can be financed.  The White Salmon City Council will hold a public comment period on the proposed purchase during its November 3 meeting, which will begin at 6 p.m.  Information on how to take part in the online meeting is at white-salmon.net.
