About the Project

The Imagine Downtown Chehalis project will reconstruct Market Boulevard, Washington and Pacific Avenues, and Boistfort Street in the historic downtown area. This will be a comprehensive effort that includes enhancements such as upgraded sidewalks, optimized traffic flow, improved roadways, opportunities for community events, and enhanced lighting. It is intended to express the long-term vision for your downtown. This plan will also help the City secure grants for future development and is intended to guide final design implementation as funding becomes available.

The public is invited to engage and share perspectives. Your valuable input throughout 2024 will shape the final decisions, ensuring that downtown Chehalis meets the needs of its residents while becoming a safer, more accessible, and cohesive hub for businesses, locals, and visitors.

This is the second of three opportunities to participate in the public outreach process. The first outreach event and on-line survey was held in June 2024 as the project kicked off. The concepts you see here are based on that initial feedback as well as early input during this second series of outreach events where the community was invited to help develop three concepts for the historic downtown during an open studio session and open house on August 13th, 2024. The three concepts developed during that event are presented here for further consideration and input from the community.
