Someone called in the snakes around 9:30 a.m., and responding officers found them near the parking lot at Lacamas Park at Round Lake, according to the Camas Police Department.
The snakes which are not native to the area and are commonly kept as pets ranged in size from 3 feet to over 6 feet in length, police said.

An apology, along with the release of all records within the residential school system.
That’s what the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) continued to ask all churches for Monday.
This is following the United Church’s acknowledgement and apology.

In a press release Monday morning, the FSIN said it appreciated the acknowledgement and apology from the United Church, but asked that other denominations from churches who had a hand in the system to immediately follow along.
