LNESC Vancouver

Vancouver, WA is the fourth largest city in the state of Washington and is home to over 183,012 people as of 2018. Over the last couple decades, Southwest Washington has become more culturally diverse and has also increased in the abundance of socioeconomic backgrounds. It was not long ago that the Lewis and Clark reached the Colombia River by boat in 1805. By 1821, British-Canadian fur trader, Hudson’s Bay Company set up a New Northwest area headquarters. The company decided to build a Fort 100 miles up the river in 1825. By 1829, Fort Vancouver was relocated closer to the Colombia River.
