The Yakima-based developer intends to build 60 apartments, 18 townhouses and has already broken ground on the construction of a Starbucks near McDonald’s and The Dalles Bridge. The construction could address the dearth of housing in The Dalles, which has seen housing stocks at historic lows in the last several years.

Just fishing around - these pelicans had a great morning below the Lone Pine Subdivision below The Dalles Dam on Sunday morning, June 25. The birds appear to be doing quite well below the dam feeding on the Columbia’s bounty.

Cascadia Development, which owns and operates multiple senior living facilities in Washington and has constructed senior housing developments in Portland,  is set to close on a deal to buy the property on March 15, said Justin Younker, a partner in the business on Thursday, March 2.
