• Students design for Columbia River community (wsu.edu) — White Salmon is at the center of new student-designed ideas for housing, streets, parks, and riverfront connections, including a proposed communal garden and a greener link from downtown to nearby recreation. Working closely with residents, tribes, and city officials, the students also drafted three sample ordinances for shared streets, mobile vendors, and residential access that could influence future city policy. 
• OSU researcher incorporates socioeconomic factors with assessing wildfire risk and recovery (klcc.org) — White Salmon is singled out in a new wildfire risk study as one of several Washington towns where danger rises sharply when social vulnerability and housing density are factored in. Researchers hope their tool will guide lawmakers and agencies to prioritize limited mitigation and recovery funds for communities like White Salmon ahead of a potentially volatile 2026 fire season.
