A couple of vocal protesters and a sudden downpour couldn’t put a damper on Gov. Jay Inslee’s remarks outside the Clark County Public Service Center on Thursday as he presented three county projects with 2024 Governor’s Smart Communities Awards.

Smart Communities Awards have been bestowed annually since 2006 in recognition of government agencies and community partners for exceptional land-use planning and development.
