Costco Appeals Salmon Creek Denial

VANCOUVER, WA-Costco Wholesale Corp., which seeks to develop a 148,000-sf store in the gridlocked Salmon Creek area, hopes to overturn the ruling and hold its place in the development line.

VANCOUVER, WA-Costco Wholesale Corp. on Monday appealed a decision by Clark County to reject a proposed new store in the gridlocked Salmon Creek area. A county hearings examiner will listen to the appeal, but a date for the event has not been determined.
