Clark County, WA. – Official Release: Firefighters from Clark County Fire District 6 are at the scene of a major natural gas leak on 99th Street, directly in front of Columbia River High School.
At least 10 households have been evacuated and the 99th street is closed. Natural gas odor has been reported as far as 11 blocks away.

Questions regarding the timeline of fixing the leak need to be addressed to NW Natural. We will stay on scene until traffic control is established. No injuries have been reported, and it’s quite likely the street will be closed for a few hours. 99th Street is a major arterial, serving the Lake Shore and Felida neighborhoods.
