New Community Asset Map Highlights Rural Strengths in Southwest Washington
SWACH is excited to share a new tool developed by the Community Health Improvement department to highlight the strengths of our rural Southwest Washington region.
The SWACH Community Asset Map is an interactive, public map that brings together the assets, people, services, and community connections that matter to residents across Klickitat and Skamania counties. The map lifts up local strengths that community members want to keep, sustain, and build upon.
This community-driven project began by engaging residents through conversations, surveys, and local events. Community members identified the assets they rely on every day. The goal being to uplift the local community, grow resident power, and make it easier to find services that support health and well-being.
Why the map matters

Makes it easier to discover nearby services, programs, or community groups you may not have known about
Supports neighbors in staying connected by lifting up trusted people and places in the community
Encourages local pride by showing the strengths that already exist in Klickitat and Skamania counties
Provides a simple way for community members and partners to share information and learn from each other
