Clark Asks: What’s up with ‘Goodwill Lake’ in Orchards?

It happens every winter when the torrential rains hit. Water builds up on state Highway 503 near the Goodwill in the Orchards area.

And readers want some answers on this flooding, which aggravates motorists along what is also known as Northeast 117th Avenue. What causes “Goodwill Lake,” and can it be fixed?

That’s the question readers selected in our most recent voting round for Clark Asks, where we do our best to answer your burning questions about the area.

The voting was close, though, as the so-called lake received one more vote than the runner-up: Vancouver street name changes at intersections are crazy for newcomers, more so than anywhere. What’s the history behind our road layouts?

Lagging far behind was the question: How are bike lanes funded and do they really provide safety for cars and bicyclists?

Stay tuned as we dive into the phenomena that locals call “Goodwill Lake” and provide a report in the near future.

In the meantime, if you have questions about this community that you’d like us to report on, go to columbian.com/clarkasks and submit them.

From time to time, we pluck one from the list and report on it. Other times we ask you to vote on a few questions. Then we answer the winner, and often the runner-up, too.
