Now, with founders Deek Heykamp and Bryan Knudsen announcing every door will lock by autumn, the community faces far more than another vacant storefront. They face a profound test of civic character, economic resilience, and generational memory. “We thought we’d spend our retirement paddling the Columbia, not bailing water from a sinking fleet of dreams,” Heykamp…
