The only source of daily news focused on Vancouver, Clark County and Washington State. Lately the paper is thinner, and there's a larger proportion of national content. The coverage is impressive, and I have it delivered every day. The search functionality on their overhauled web site (Sep-2008) is outstanding; find past articles with no hassle, easier than with Google. I wish articles would say "where" places and events are in the first couple of paragraphs, or include a map, rather than assuming readers know locations, sigh. read more

This is a garbage newspaper with nothing but biased mis-information. I've not read any of it's articles in the past few years which is truthful. Don't waste your money subscribing. The one star is only because they're still in business...sadly indoctrinating the uninformed. read more

Where to start on my negative review... home delivery is non-existent in Camas. When they had delivery it was OK but sometimes inconsistent. They imply they are the voice of news for Vancouver & SW Washington but have a paywall for 100% of their content, which indicates $ trumps journalism. Content is quite biased and isn't what good news organizations should offer. They could prosper if they focused on journalism and weren't so possessive of their content. I'd resubscribe if they changed their business model. read more

On top of local news, a wide variety of editorial viewpoints, often very thoughtful. A great local newspaper! Unfortunately, repetitive in presenting information. Also, sadly, the Camas-Washougal Post Record has neglected important news---such as that apartment building going up in downtown Washougal, on a space that the CWPR reported as the space for the "new library". It poses a huge traffic risk and there has been zero reporting on it. Washougal residents are furious about this! But if you don't live in Washougal, then you'd be pretty happy with The Columbian. It really tries. The Post Record is dying a slow death. Please euthanize and incorporate its reporting into The Columbian. read more

My problem is that when I get the free weekend paper all the news is out source new no local stories at all it is the LA Times or assoicated press and so on what happened to the local stories Supposed to be The Vancouver Columbian not the Vancouver World Press newspaper I remember back 10 years ago I would get this weekend paper and it had some Oregon news and Vancouver Washington News and around washingon now it is world news no local stories at all I guess I should have not renewed my free edition and get the battleground refactor instead tj read more

A very poorly managed and rightly dying local paper plagued right now by the very worst customer service I've ever experienced in fifty years of regularly subscribing to a local paper. In my neighborhood (River Ridge, 98683) we've had at least six different local delivery people in the last year, ALL unreliable and uncaring. Paper drops are too often missed with no explanation at all and not even replaced when one complains. The rot as this rag starts right at the top with preening, self-promoting owner/editors paying no attention whatsoever to the visibly failing front line of their business: home delivery of a real paper. If you seek reliable deliveries of a real newspaper, don't even think about wasting your money on a subscription with these losers at effective business administration. read more

They switched to mailing the paper. My mail doesn't come until 5 in the afternoon. I want to wake up and read my paper. Also, everything in my mailbox gets wet, and they don't put the paper in a plastic bag. read more

I was a faithful Columbia subscriber for years. Their claim of newspaper delivery to your door is a joke. Sometimes it was in the bushes, sometimes in the roof gutters but seldom by the door. After complaining numerous times about missed deliveries and where is was being left I cancelled my subscription. They could have cared less if they had a happy subscriber. read more

I live in a community where several of us take the columbian. It seems our carrier delivers the paper when and if they feel like it. We have complained several times but to our dismay does absolutely no good. We're just about to the point of canceling. Don't know who manages the Battleground, Yacolt area but you need to make sure your paper delivers on a daily basis. Excluding Mondays of course. Consistancy would make great customer service. Thank you! read more

I have been with the Columbian for many years as a faithful subscriber and had no problems. However this last year has been a nightmare in missed delivery's, I feel like I have to have the circulation number on speed dial. I understand they do not have a regular driver for my route but please get one. read more

I have never had an issue with delivery, but maybe I would have before now, had I been up at this hour regularly on a Sunday. The delivery person just threw the paper at my car, and when I ran out to the street they were pulling out of someone else's driveway who actually received their paper at the door. How is it okay to treat one customer better than another? Isn't customer service supposed to be money blind? I never want to see another issue on my property. Worst delivery service ever! read more
