Vancouver Now Washington's Seventh Most Populous City Population gains from recent annexations have boosted Vancou ver to seventh on a list o fth e state’s largest cities. In February, the state Office o f Financial Management certified V ancouver’s population at 64,350 residents. This moves Van couver ahead o f Yakima (60,323) and behind Federal Way (estimated at 73,500). Seattle tops the list at 531,400. In January, Vancouver added 5,099 residents as a result o f the 112th Avenue Area annexation. In December 1993, the local popula tion grew by 16 when the Port o f Vancouver was annexed. These fig ures were compiled during a city- coordinated census o f the newly annexed areas in Decem berand Jan uary. "For every new resident, V an couver gains approximately $47 in annual sta te -sh a re d re v e n u e s,” points out C ity M anager John Fischbach. “This money translates directly into municipal services for local residents." Vancouver now covers an area o f 26.08 square miles or 16.692 acres. By comparison, the city had a population o f 46,615 and covered 10,006 acres in 1990. V ancouver's population is expected to grow by 1.000 or more in early June when occupancy estimates for newly con structed housing are calculated.
