🌲 Christmas in July, Popsicles, and a Color Picnic
Thursday, July 24th in Vancouver, Washington
Happy Thursday, Vancouver!
Well, we’ve got a Christmas in July event coming up this weekend, and Mariah Carey has officially started defrosting in preparation for her December duties.
Beyond that, we’ve got a whole bevy of summer events that range from athletic to crafty to downright…leisurely. We’re officially one week out from the esteemed Vancouver Arts and Music Festival, and we can’t wait to immerse ourselves fully in all the talent this city has to offer.
Until then, here's what to expect in today's edition of The PNW Report (Vancouver):

📈 Clark County renter needs to make $33/hour to afford a 1‑bedroom apartment
Clark County renters now need to pull in a whopping $33 an hour (or roughly $71,000 a year) just to afford a modest one-bedroom place. That’s much more than the county’s average renter wage of ~$24/hour, meaning plenty of folks are stuck playing musical budgets…or working two jobs just to keep a roof overhead.
