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.

earthquake awareness is also being
observed in Oregon and California.
“W e're sending the message
that people need to be ready before
a quake occurs,” said Tom Griffith.
Director o f the County's Emergen­
cy Services Department. “We know
that a quake will certainly occur at
some point and it’s important for
people to haveea plan.”
Boise-Eliot Kids
Honored For
Food Video
They were passed up for an O s­
car. but Boise-Eliot Elementary stu­
dents' video-production and screen­
writing abilities didn't go unnoticed.
Students won first prize from
the Oregon Department o f Educa­
tion in a 1995 Nutrition Awareness
Contest for a video they produced on
the school's Share A Meal Day pro­
gram.
Fifth-graders produced a video
o f themselves preparing and sharing
a meal With the help o f a profession­
al chef, students served lasagna,
bread, fruit and low-fat milk.
During the weeks before the
cookins event, students learned about
nutritional issues including, the ben­
efits o f eating meals together, choos­
ing a healthy diet, sanitation and safe­
ty.
Share A Meal Day, sponsored
by the Portland School D istrict's
Nutrition Services Department and
Sysco Foods, is designed to promote
the nutritional and social benefits o f
eating together
Griffith said families should fig­
ure out ahead o f time what each
family member would do, where they
would go and plan to meet if a quake
struck.
County and City o f Vancouver
employees will be getting earthquake
prepared by participating in a volun­
tary “Drop, Cover, and Hold Drill”
on Wednesday, April 26. At about 9
a.m., participating departments will
be notified by supervisors that a sim­
ulated m ajor earthquake has oc­
curred. At that point, they’ll be in­
structed to drop under a desk or stur­
dy table and stay under cover and
hold on to the desk or table.
