References to City of Washougal that document the origin of its place name
WASHOUGAL, a river and town in the southeastern part of Clarke County, was formerly known as Parker's Landing. ("Reminiscences of Captain W. P. Gray," in Washington Historical Quarterly, Volume XIV., page 330.) The Lewis and Clark Expedition called the Washougal River "Seal River" from the abundance of seals noticed at its mouth. (Elliott Coues, History of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Volume III., page 918.) E. S. Curtis says the Indian word means "rushing water." (The North American Indian, Volume VIII., page 181.)
