Royce Pollard (born 1939)[1] is an American politician who served as the six-term mayor of Vancouver, Washington.

Cumulatively, he held public office in the city for around 20 years,[2] shaping much of its development in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

His most notable exploits have been a major revival of Vancouver's once-dilapidated downtown core,[2] shepherding the city's growth by 100,000 residents,[2] and championing a controversial project to replace the Interstate Bridge and expand the MAX Light Rail system into Clark County.

[3] In addition to mass transit, Pollard has long supported green modes of transportation such as walking and biking.

In a highly publicized gesture in 2005, he purchased and destroyed coffee mugs with Portland logos at Vancouver Starbucks after the company failed to remove them from stores.
