Welcome to Season 2 of Evergreen Perspective!
Season 2 of Evergreen Perspective kicks off with Clark County Councilmember Wil Fuentes (District 3) in a wide-ranging conversation about the issues shaping life in Southwest Washington.
We dive into the housing debate - is it a shortage or an affordability crisis? and talk about what Clark County WA can realistically do to create more access to affordable homes. Wil shares his background on the Planning Commission, the challenges of growth management in Vancouver USA, and why taxpayers often end up footing the bill for infrastructure tied to “leapfrog development.”
Of course, we also cover the long-running Interstate Bridge Project and the controversy around light rail, federal funding, and fears about change in Clark County. Wil opens up about his own “Welcome to Politics” moment, the realities of local government, and how he sees the future of our community.
Season 2 of Evergreen Perspective will feature not just elected officials, but also business owners, community leaders, and everyday residents - because the story of Southwest Washington is written by all of us.
If you’ve ever wondered why housing is so expensive, how growth is being managed, or why the bridge debate has dragged on for decades this conversation is for you.
