We are located in the Clark County that is in Southwest Washington State–not Washington D.C. nor any of the other eleven U.S. Clark Counties nor the five U.S. Clarke Counties (although for a time our name was Clarke County.) We are located in the city of Vancouver, Washington–not Vancouver, Canada–and near Portland, Oregon–not Portland, Maine. Historic Fort Vancouver is located in Clark County and was for a time the western terminus of the Oregon Trail.
