The City of White Salmon, in partnership with the downtown businesses along Jewett Avenue, will observe Tuesday. Storefronts along Jewett will display lighted candles in their windows throughout the evening. By lighting candles, communities across the world show solidarity with those who struggle with mental illness, while also remembering the lives lost to suicide. White Salmon Mayor Marla Keethler says it is intended that the gentle glow of each candle serves as a beacon of hope, sending a powerful message to those who may feel alone or helpless—that they are seen, supported, and valued. Residents can also participate by placing a candle in their window as a show of unity, hope, and remembrance. If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, substance use concerns, or a mental health crisis, you can call, text or chat by dialing 988 to be connected to a trained counselor.
