The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

The Cathlamet Library has been closed till January 29 because of safety

concerns.

A contractor has been working to replace a footing of a sagging wall,

and excavations Thursday released a large amount of groundwater. Town

hall employees noticed doors were sticking and out alignment, and

officials called in an engineer for an inspection.

"The building is shifting more than expected," Mayor George Wehrfritz

announced. "It seems within the range of normal movement, but just to be

safe, we've closed the library until Friday, January 29."
