RKm Development and the Port of Camas-Washougal celebrated a major construction milestone for Hyas Point on October 31 — the structural completion, or “top out,” of the development’s first six-story building along the Washougal Waterfront.
The event brought together city and port officials, project partners, and community leaders to mark the occasion with a beam-signing and guided site tours.
“This couldn’t have happened without a lot of collaboration,” said Washougal Mayor and State Representative David Stuebe. “It’s just so amazing to see this taking shape. This is transformational — it’s going to bring so much to our community.”
Port Commissioner Larry Keister reflected on the project’s long journey from vision to reality. “Our mission is to build projects that create job opportunities and public access to the Columbia River,” he said. “Hyas Point happened because of partnership — between the Port, the City of Washougal, and RKm — all working together to complement our community. One year ago, this was a dirt field. Today, Hyas Point is becoming a destination.”
RKm Development President Roy Kim described the milestone as a moment of pride for everyone involved. “Hyas Point is not just a development project — it’s a community project,” he said. “We’re creating spaces where neighbors can gather, shop, work, and live, all while honoring the natural beauty of the riverfront. Hyas Point is proof that when people share a vision, we can do extraordinary things.”
The first phase of Hyas Point, which broke ground in 2024, will feature residential apartments, retail space, and public gathering areas designed to connect people to the Columbia River. Construction, led by LMC Construction, remains on schedule for completion in 2027.
