The City of Spokane, WA, is the capital of the Intermountain Northwest, with a population of 222,000 at the core and regional population of more than 700,000 people. Spokane has grown up along the banks of the beautiful Spokane River accented by a series of rapids and water falls. A 100-acre urban park, new community plaza, and planned trailhead frame the south bank of the river and create a launching point for a 3-mile Gorge Loop trail that seamlessly transitions work into play.
The City is working to leverage its incredible urban experience to encourage new business investment that builds on more than $2.8 billion of public and private investment over the past six years, a growing entrepreneurial reputation, and a University Research District that includes degrees from six higher education institutions and two medical schools. Over the next five years, there is another $750 million planned in major investments in higher education, public education, transportation, recreation and entertainment, the river, and public safety; which will only enhance Spokane’s livability quotient and opportunity for economic growth.
