Former Red Lion Hotel On Columbia River Being Demolished

VANCOUVER, Wash. — The old Red Lion Hotel on the Columbia River along the waterfront in Vancouver is coming down.

It’s part of a project by the Port of Vancouver to add more commercial space, retail shops and restaurants to the acreage they own there.  The City of Vancouver has been in a major waterfront redevelopment mode since before the pandemic.

Crews started demolishing the site this week.  It should take four to six weeks to completely demolish.
