Human Factors
I was ready [to] depart VFR from VUO. I contacted Pearson Advisory on 119.0 and advised I was departing Runway 26 with a Class C cutout departure. Pearson Advisory acknowledged; advised that PDX was departing to the west and cautioned for wake turbulence. I looked to the east and did not see any aircraft. I announced on the CTAF that I was departing Runway 26 with a Vancouver Lake departure. As I moved forward across the runway hold short line I again looked east and saw a small Cessna on short final. I immediately stopped before turning onto the runway. At that time I heard the Cessna pilot say she was going around. I had not seen her before that. I asked her if she had announced she was on final and she said she had. I did not hear that. My passenger who is experienced with airport operations did not hear any position reports from the aircraft. This was not a near collision. The evasive actions taken were that I stopped just beyond the hold short line and the other airplane initiated a go-around.
Pilot reported a critical ground conflict while taking runway for departure with aircraft on final approach.
