A freshly completed mural in downtown Vancouver brightens up a trash enclosure building across from City Hall and offers a new eye-catching feature for a district already being targeted by city leaders in a major rebranding effort.
“Groovin’ & Couv’n,” the piece declares in splashes of blue, lilac, mustard and crimson, with an artistic rendering of the Interstate 5 Bridge and a pair of bicycling legs.

Downtown Vancouver’s newly announced grocery store is set to feature a sleek architectural style, an attached parklike area, and its own parking lot with about 71 spots, according to conceptual renderings submitted to the City of Vancouver.
Set to open in 2023, the 26,000-square-foot New Seasons Market will rise on a long-empty lot at 1506 Main St., north of Mill Plain Boulevard.
